IMPHOVED GREEN STRIPED CASHAW. 



GKEEN STKIPKD, or IMPROVED CASHATV. 



This is a great improvement on the well-known Yellow 

 Cashaw Pumpkin in very many respects, and those who 

 have thus far grown them ignore tile Yellow Cashaw entirely. 

 They are much more beautiful in appearance, being a distinct 

 mottled green and white sjriped. The flesh is a rich yellow 

 color, solid, tine grained, very thick, sweet and excellent for 

 pies, and equally good for baking. They are very hardy, 

 bugs seldom bother them, can be grown among the corn, and 

 yield a much heavier crop than Yellow Cashaw, and better 

 for stock feeding. They are hard to beat. Try them.
