NEW GOLDEN HUBBARD SQUASH. 



OOLDBN HUBBARD SQUASH. 



The introducer says: After years of careful selec- 

 tion, so that in character and color it has become firmly 

 fixed, we otfer this excellent new Snuash. confident that 

 it will become a standard variety. A sport from that 

 old standard of excellence, the Hubbard, it is a perfect 

 type of its parent except in color, wliich is abright deep 

 orange yellow. Flesh deep golden yellow, much richer 

 in color than Hubbard, fine grained, cooks very dry, 

 of excellent flavor. Its keeping qualities are fully 

 equal to, while in productiveness it far excels the old 

 variety. In everything except color and yield it is a 

 counterpart of that old favorite, the Hubbard. Its 

 superior keeping qualities combined with its sweet, rich 

 flavor, attractive color and shape, are bound to make it 

 a popular Fall and Winter variety.

WARTED HUBBARD SQUASH. 



This Squash is considered the best strain 

 of Hubbard. It combines the fine points of 

 the original strain with larger size, harder 

 shell, improved quality, thicker flesh, finer 

 color, stronger constitution. In short, ic is 

 unapproachable as a winter Squash, and 

 will undoubtedly stand for many years as 

 the best type of the famous Hubbard. The 

 color is almost blnck, all looking alike, and 

 with a dense covering of knots— hence the 

 name of " Warted." Their handsome appear- 

 aace appeals strongly to customers. 



Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts.. % lb. 25 cts..

NEW TOMATO, 



WHITE'S EXCELSIOR. 



This fine new variety originated with one 

 of our Iowa Seedsmen. It is admitted by 

 many critical growers to be the best purple 

 tomato so far introduced. Is somewhat 

 similar to the Truckers Favorite, but is 

 larger, more solid and heavier. It has won 

 the first premium at the Iowa State Fair, 

 every time it has been exhibited. The vines 

 are the largest, strongest growers of any, 

 bear tlie greatest crops, and continue bear- 

 ing until frost. The fruits are large, smooth 

 and nearly solid, with but few seeds; color 

 dark glossy or purple red, ripen up evenly 

 around the stem, no green spots or hard core. 

 One of the best shipping varieties, as it 

 stands up well. In (luality and flavor can- 

 not bo surpassed. Excelsior is a main crop 

 tomato and comes in a few days later than 

 the medium early kind. We can recommend 

 this variety very highly to our customers.
