BUCKBEE'S "FULL OF LIFE" SQUASH 



The Squash is one of the most nutritious and valuable of all our garden vegetables. The sum- 

 mer varieties come to the table early in the season, while the winter sorts can be had in perfection 

 from August until the sumniei' varieties are again in condition. Few farmers appreciate tlie value 

 of winter squash as a food for slock. An acre of Squash, costing no more to cultivate and much 

 less to secure, will give as much food available for feeding stock as an acre of Corn, and we strongly 

 urge our readers to try a patch for this purpo.se. The plants are very tender and sensitive to cohf, 

 and planting must be delayed until settled warm weather. The general principles of culture are 

 the same as those given for Cucumbers and Melons, but the plants are less particular as to soil. Tlie 

 summer varieties should bo planted 4 to 6 feet apart each way, and the winter sorts 8 to 10. Three 

 plants are sufficient for a hill.

NEW GOLDEN HUBBARD 



Justly Popular Wherever and Whenever Grown 

 This is a true Hubbard Squash, Except in Color, which is bright Golden. The vine i 

 but not rampant, grower, and wonderfully productive, e.Kpending the energy derived' 

 fertilizing in the production of an increased number rather than of overgrown 

 and coarse fruits, as some varieties are apt to do. It ripens its crop very early 

 and uniformly, thus making it a certain cropper. The fruits are very uni- 

 form in size, weighing from six to eight pounds, and in shape are like the Hub- 

 bard. Though maturing early they are wonderfully long keepers, so they can 

 be held over in good conditioia for spring use. The shell is warty, hard and 

 strong, and a very beautiful orange red color, except for a bit of olive green on 

 the blossom end. The flesh is a deep orange, and uniformly so to the rind, 

 nevor having the green tinge so objectionable in other sorts. It cooks very dry, 

 fine grained and good flavored. We believe this is the best Fall and Winter 

 sort yet introduced, and that it deserves to and will become a most pop- 

 ular variety. It certainlj' has no superior as a table Squash. Send 

 to Buckbee for the best seed. Pkt. 6c.; oz. Sc.; 2 oz. 15c.; \i lb. 28c.; 

 Vi lb. 56c..; lb. $1.00.
