HENDERSON’S EARLY PROLIFIC MARROW SQUASH. 
FORDHOOK. The engraving shows the shape of 
this grand newSquash. It is extremely handsome, 
of a bright yellow outside, and straw-yellow within. 
The flesh is dry and sweet, and the best in quality 
of all Winter Squashes. Placed inacool, dry room, 
it keeps in perfect condition throughout the winter 
and spring until late inJune, whenSummer Squashes 
are ready. The stem is thin and hard, and also the 
roots, consequently it is perfectly free from the 
attacks of the Squash borer. It matures early and 
far North, and is everywhere a sure cropper, being 
earlier in ripening than any other Winter Squash. 
Immensely productive. A remarkable keeper, yet 
the skin is very thin and delicate. The meat is very 
thick and the seed cavity small. Another feature is 
that the Squashes can be used at any stage of 
their growth, and in flavor are superior to any Sum- 
mer Squash. (See cut.) Price, pkt. 5c., 10c. oz., 25¢e.

HENDERSON’S EARLY PROLIFIC MARROW. A comparatively new 
fall or winter variety of New England origin, but which has been very 
generally tested in different parts of the country; it is shaped some- 
what like the Boston Marrow, but it is a decided improvement on it, being 
much earlier and more productive. These characteristics will commend the- 
variety to market gardeners, while its brilliant orange red color and fine 
keeping and cooking qualities will make it popular with the consumer. The 
rind is very hard but thin, and the flesh deep, fine-grained and of delicious.

“T cannot let another day go past without letting you know how we have enjoyed your Delicata- 
Squash. I consider it one of the best Squashes ever sent out. It brings one in mind of the English 
Vegetable Marrow, only 50 per cent. better. A good grower and good cropper.”

Gardener, Estate of Frederick Billings, 
Woodstock, Vt.

“We tried your Delicata Squash last season and think they are far ahead of anything else in the: 
Squash line. They are correctly named.” GELON HANN, 
Port Gibson, Miss. 
MARBLEHEAD. An excellent variety resembling the Hubbard. The flesh: 
is rather lighter in color than that variety, while its combination of sweet- 
ness, dryness and delicious flavor is remarkable. Its yield is equal to the 
Hubbard, while its keeping qualities are better. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 
25c. 4 Ib., T5e. lb. 
MAMMOTH CHILI. The largest of all Squashes, growing to an immense: 
size—often weighing over two hundred pounds—while its rich, fine-flavored 
flesh ensures its value forall purposes. Its size makes it valuable for 
stock feeding. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. 0z., 40c. 14 1b., $1.25 lb. 
HUBBARD. A general favorite and more largely grown as a late sort tham 
any other. It is of large size, often weighing from nine to ten pounds. Color 
bluish green, occasionally marked with brownish orange or yellow. Flesh 
fine-grained, dry and of excellent flavor. It can be had in use from Sep- 
tember to May. (Seecut.) 5c. pkt., 10c., oz., 25c. 14 Ib., 75c. Ib. 
ESSEX HYBRID. This is not only one of the richest-flavored, finest-grained: 
and sweetest of all Squashes, but it is also one of the very best keepers that- 
we know of. Short cylindrical shape, having on the blossom end a small 
cap-shaded enlargement. The flesh is dry, sweet and thick, and of a bright. 
orange color. Long keeper. Those desiring a ‘‘dry’’? Squash should grow 
Essex HYBRID. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 lb., 70c. Ib. 
BOSTON MARROW. Second early, coming-in about ten daysafter the Bush 
‘* HENDERSON”’ LAWN GRASS SEED, the 
days of using sod would soon be over.
