fine-grained flesh of brilliant reddish-orange; 



quality, flavor and dryness unequalled.

 growth, almost borer-proof, and produces a 

 fine crop of large reddish-orange squashes,

 is golden-red, very deep, fine-grained, sweet 

 and dry, and of the finest flavor, either 

 boiled, steamed, baked, or in pies. Price,

' 'I write particularly to tell you about our Heart o' Gold 

 Squash; it is certainly the very best squash we have ever 

 eaten — dry, fine-flavored and thick-mealed." 



G. E. STOPFORD, Amherst, Can. 

 "The Heart o' Gold Squash is not only good eating, but 

 is magnificent in appearance when ripe, a noble produc- 

 tion surely; for o>* exhibition they are also A 1."

 color, increased size, better constitution and pro- 

 ductiveness. It has an extremely hard, tough and 

 densely warted shell, which not only indicates
