FAXON SQUASHo 



This is no longer a novelty and is fast becoming very popular, both as a sunnner and winter variety. It is 

 the best squash for any and all purposes; the best early, the best late, the best keeper and the best in quality. It 

 ripens early and is very productive. The flesh is a deep orange yellow, very small seed cavity and few seeds. It 

 is the best squash ever cooked (see testimonial page 89), and for pies it must be tried to be appreciated. A fair 

 trial will convince all of its great value. As a mnter squash it has few superiors, being very fine grained, dry 

 and exceedingly pleasant flavored. It will keep in good condition the year round, whether gathered ripe or green, 

 a very desirable feature, as many ^ - 



squashes (especially the Hubbard) must 

 be thoroughly ripe before frost or the 

 crop is lost. The Faxon we believe is des- 

 tined to become the standard variety, 

 both for home use and market purposes. 

 We are headquarters for this unrivalled 

 variety — see illustration opposite, having 

 purchased the stock seed. Pkt., 6c; 2 

 pkts., 10c; oz., 15c; lb., 25c; lb., 70c; 

 3 lbs., $2.00; 5 lbs., $3.00. 



Enoch Buchanan, of Ashland County, 

 Ohio, Oct. 12, 1895, writes: "We are 

 very much pleased with all received from 

 you so far. The Faxon Squash did very 

 well considering the dry weather 

 vines having two fine squashes, 



some 



_ ^ where 



other varieties failed altogether. 



H. C. Temple, Chester County, Pa., Oct. 

 25, '95, says : The Faxon Squash from seed 

 received of you is very fine, and looks as 

 if it would keep until spring; for making 

 pies it is equally as good as the old-fash- 

 ioned Sweet Potato Pumpkin. 



A famous squash specialist, wrote us 

 recently after having grown the Faxon 

 for five years, that it is by far the finest 

 in quality and the best in every way of 

 any squash yet introduced. With the 

 Faxon no one needs any other variety
