Bolgiano's Extra Early Dawn. It is ten days to 

 two weeks earlier than other stocks of White Bush 

 Stjuash, and commands the first Fancy Prices of the 

 earliest market. It is very productive, and the clear 

 wMte color is entirely free from any green cast. 

 Fruits are solid and heavy, with small seed cavity, 

 making excellent shipper. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 

 ^ lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1-50. 



Fart's Bennings White Bush. Our stock 

 of seed this year was raised by Mr. N. E. 

 Farr, one of the originators of this squash. 

 We cannot recommend it too highly. We 

 feel that if you want earliness and beauty 

 you can not go astray in buying this stock. 

 The earliest squash that has come to this 

 market from local gardeners for the past 

 25 years has been from this stock. Fine in 

 appearance, of light white-green color. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., iscts.; 14 lb., 40 cts. ; lb., $1.50. 



Early Yellow Summer Crookneck. A desirable table 

 sort, very early and productive — fruits when matured 

 small crooknecked and covered with warty excres- 

 cences. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 54 lb., 35 cts.; 

 lb., $1.25. 



Hubbard. A superior variety and one of the best 

 winter keepers; flesh bright orange-yellow, fine 

 grained, very dry, sweet and rich flavored. Bakes 

 very dry, equally as dry as the Sweet Potato. Our 

 stock is the very best, and we don't hesitate to rec- 

 ommend it to the most critical planter. Pkt., 5 cts.; 

 oz., 20 cts.; 14 lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



Winter Crookneck. Flesh red, fine flavor, largely 

 grown for winter use. Pkt., 5 cts.; ^ lb., 35 cts.;

To the acre, 2 to 3 lbs. Large Seeded kind; Bush kinds, 

 3 to 4 lbs. 1 oz. Bush Varieties for 40 hills. Large Seeded 

 \arieties, 1 oz. for 15 hills. 



There are two kinds of Squashes— one for summer use 

 tor cooking in the tender green state, and the other for 

 -toring for winter use. 



The Fordhook may be used either in the young state 

 during the summer or put away for baking in the winter. 

 Owing to the high cost of meat, one should arrange for 

 a bountiful supply of both the Summer and Winter varie- 

 ties, as the former may be fried and served like egg-plant 

 and the latter are very palatable when stewed and served 

 alone or made up into pies. 



Early White Bush Scalloped, or Patty Pan. This 

 is the earliest, and grown almost exclusively for the 

 first crop. The rind is hard texture, which makes it 

 suitable for shipping, and it is exclusively grown at 

 the South for that purpose. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 

 % lb., 35 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



Boston Marrow. A splendid winter squash of good 

 keeping qualities. Flesh bright orange, fine grain, and 

 unsurpassed. It is oval-shaped, and thin skin of 

 bright orange color. For pies it is equal to the best 

 pumpkins. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 14 lb., 30 cts.; 

 lb., $1.00. 



GOLDEN OR YELLOW .SUMMER CROOKNECK SQUASH. 



BOSTON MARROW SQUASH. 



Early Prolific Orange Marrow. A comparatively 

 new fall or winter variety. It is shaped somewhat 

 like the Boston Marrow, but it is a decided improve- 

 ment on it, being much earlier and more productive. 

 These characteristics will commend this variety to 

 market gardeners, while its brilliant orange-red color 

 and fine keeping and cooking qualities make it pop- 

 ular with the customer. The rind is very 

 hard, but thin, and the flesh deep, fine 

 grained, and of delicate quality. Pkt, 5 cts.; 

 oz., 10 cts.; 14 lb., 30 cts.; 'lb., $1.00. 



Fordhook. This may be grown for either 

 Summer or Winter use. It is of strong, vig- 

 orous growth and extremely productive. 

 The fruits measure 8 to 10 inches long, have 

 ridged smooth thin brownish-yellow skin; 

 llesh is thick and of a light yellow color. 

 Pkt, 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 lb., 50 cts.; 

 lb., $1.50.
