DUNMRD WINTER FUnPKIN. 



This hybrid variety originated with the religions sect of Dunkards, in Bucks County, Pa., where it has had a local repu- 

 tation for a few years past. Their true shape is well depicted in our illustration, engraved from a photograph. The outside 

 skin is a rich, deep orange color, lightly striped. The flesh is very thick and of a beautiful golden yellow color, the richest 

 flavored, finest grained and sweetest of any pumpkin we have ever tested. Their most wonderful property is their great 

 keeping qualities, having been kept for aperiod of two years in perfect condition. The vines are very hardy and productive. 

 They sell in Philadelphia markets at double the prices of other varieties. We found in growing our crops the past two sea- 

 sons some few specimens varying in shape from the true type, although equally as good in quality. This is owing to the 

 hybrid origin of the variety, there bcins? a tendency to sport back to the original parent. In saving our .seed, however, we 

 have discarded all irregular shapes, and hope in another year to have the variety entirely fixed in habit. AVe make this state- 

 ment that our customers who bought the seed last season, as well as tliose who buy now, may not think the seed at all 

 mixed from any oversight on our part. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25e.; J^lb., 75c.; lb., S2.50
