Squash 



One ounce will plant twenty to forty hills, according to 

 size of seed. Four to six pounds will plant one acre. 



fiEW SWEET Ht^T SQUflSH 



Wlien only half grown and cooked green, as summer 

 squashes, they are dry, fine flavored and delicious. Cut in 

 slices and fried, like egg-plants, they can hardly be dis- 

 tinguished from that excellent vegetable, but their greatest 

 value consists in being used as a vi'inter squash. 

 When pulled before frost, laid away in a dr.v room or cellar, 

 they will keep sound and sweet the whole winter through. 

 For making pies, custards, etc., their beautiful yellow 

 flesh pos.sesses a drv, rich, sweet flavor, even without the 

 use of sugar. Pkt., 5e.; oz., lOe.; "% lb., 25c.; lb., 75c.

 shape, large size, dark green, almost black ; distinguished 

 l)y a dense covering of knots, which justifies the name of 

 " Warted." Vcrv thick flesh, (irst-class quality and a good 

 keeper. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; % lb., 30c.; lb., 90c.

NEW SQUASH— The Red Hubbard— A Long=Iooked=for Variety at Last 



After years of careful se- 

 lection, so that ill character 

 and color it has become 

 firmly fixed, we have been 

 able to grow enough pure 

 seed to offer in quantity this 

 excellent new squash. It is a 

 sport from that old standard 

 of excellence, the Hubbard ; 

 a perfect type of its parent, 

 except in color, which is a 

 bright orange red, exceed- 

 inglj' showy and attractive. 

 Flesh much richer in color 

 than Hubbard, fine grained, 

 cooks very dry, of excellent 

 flavor. Its keeping qualities 

 are fully equal to, while 

 in productiveness it far ex- 

 cels the old variety. Its 

 superior keeping qualities, 

 combined with its sweet, 

 rich flavor, attractive color 

 and shape, are bound to make 

 it a great market seller.
