BRAZIL SUGAR — This distinct new variety 

 for Summer and Autumn use, is the richest flavored and 

 sweetest of all squashes. It is liked for tahle use in every 

 stage of its growth. During the months of August, 

 Septemher and October it has no equal. It is enormuusUi 

 productive. A single plant has yielded as many as Ucdv'e 

 perfectly ripened squashes. The flesh is yellow, slightly 

 tinged with green. They ripen as early as the Boston Mar- 

 row. Pkt.. 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; % lb.. 50 cts.; pound, $1.35. 



PERFECT GEM — This variety is a vigorous 

 grower, on a single vine have been counted 24 perfect 

 squashes within a distance of 3 feet. Packet, 5 cents; 

 ounce, 15 cents ; % pound, 40 cents ; pound, $1.10. 



PINEAPPLE. — As a Winter Squash, 

 ahead of every other variety for making pies 

 or custards, which in flavor remarkably re- 

 semble cocoanut. Can also be sliced and 

 tried same as egg plant. As a Winter variety, 

 it keeps wonderfully till late in the Spring, 

 and I have seen them kept in perfect 

 condition for over one year. Combine 

 wonderful productiveness, with a desirable 

 selling size and shape. A pure white color, 

 unusually thick flesh, good both for Summer 

 or Winter. Packet, 10 cents. ; ounce, 15 cents ; 

 % pound. 40 cents ; pound, $1.10. 



BOSTON MARROW Oval in form ; thin skin , 



outer color, orange. Flesh sweet and fine grained. A good 

 keeper. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz.,10 cts.; M lb., 25 cts.; lb., 70 cts. 



MARBLEHEAD THE BEST KEEPER 



of all. Very fine grained, possessing a sweet and 

 delicious flavor. This is an old variety, but is so good 

 that it should be more largely grown than it is. Packet, 

 5 cents ; ounce, 10 cents ; % pound, 25 cts. ; pound, 70 cts. 



COCOAIVUT. — "Very desirable. Is fine grained 

 and well flavored. 6 to 12 grow on a vine, is the most 

 beautiful of all squashes. Bear in mind also that 

 the Cocoanut will give a crop when other varieties fail. 

 Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; % pound, 25c; pound, 70c. 



RED CHINA. 



NEW RED CHINA It is a good 



grower, matures early, and keeps in fine con- 

 dition until late in the Spring. Its immense 

 productiveness, handsome appearance, fine 

 quality, and convenient size, make it one of 

 the most desirable Squashes ever introduced 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; % lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.35. 



OLIVE. — Resembles an olive in shape 

 and color. It is a. little larger than the 

 Hubbard. Skin extremely smooth and thin ; 

 flesh very thick, rich, golden yellow color, 

 firm, mealy, sweet and good. Packet, 10 cents ; 

 ounce, 25 cents ; % pound, 60 cts.; pounds $1.55. 



HUBBARD. — Decidedly one of the best Squashes ever intro- 

 duced. Flesh, bright orange, very dry, sweet and rich flavored. I recom- 

 mend this variety as superior for Winter use. It keeps perfectly through the 

 Winter, three months later than the marrows, and has long been one of the most 

 popular varieties in cultivation. The $50 premium offered by me in 1888 for the 

 finest Hubbard Squash grown from my seed, was secured by J. M. Delaney, 

 Stewartsville. Mo. Pkt,, 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; y± lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.10.
