New Pumpkin — 'Winter Luxury." 



This new pumpkin, which we offered for the first time last season, is the result of six years' careful 

 selection and improvement bj- a veteran pumpkin grower, and is pronounced by all who have thus far 

 grown it the very best pumpkin for pies that they have ever known. It grows uniformly to a diameter 

 of ten to twelve inches, and is enormousl}' productive. In color it is a beautiful golden yellow, very 

 finely and closely netted, like a netted muskmelon, as shown in photograph above. As a winter keeper 

 and cooking variety it stands unequalled, and when known rapidly popularizes itself as the very best 

 for either home use or market. Pkt., loc; oz., 30c.; ){ lb., $1.00 ; lb., fo.oo. 



The Sweet Nut Squash. 



This new squash originated with Mr. Payn- 

 ter Frame, of Delaware, who has been instru- 

 mental in getting up many valuable new varie- 

 ties. Mr. Frame says it is the only squash that 

 is absolutely borer- proof, the squash-borer 

 having never been known to touch it, even when 

 all other varieties were affected. The accom- 

 panying photograph fairly represents its fine 

 medium size and form, as many as eight having 

 been grown on a single vine. When only half 

 grown and cooked green, as summer squashes, 

 they are dry, fine flavored, and most delicious 

 eating. Cut in slices and fried like egg-plants, 

 they can hardly be distinguished from that 

 excellent vegetable, but their greatest value 

 con.sists in being- used as a winter 

 squash. When pulled before frost, laid away 

 in a dry room or cellar, they will keep sound 

 and sweet the whole winter through. For mak- 

 ing pies, custards, etc., their beautiful yellow 

 flesh possesses a dry, rich, sweet flavor, even 

 without the use of sugar. Pkt., loc. ; oz., 20c.;
