HENDERSON'S 



Delicata Squash 



For both summer and winter use 

 Dry, sweet and rich — Wonderfully prolific 



Delicata produces an enormous number of 

 fruits of such convenient size that the entire 

 Squash can be used at one time. 



It is ready almost as soon as the early sum- 

 mer sorts, is better flavored, and remains in 

 perfect condition as long as any keeping variety. 



Its flavor when cooked has been compared 

 to the Sweet Potato, others liken it to roasted 

 chestnuts, but all agree that it is delicious. The 

 fruits are about 9 inches long, and when ripe, 

 are deep yellow, irregularly striped and marb- 

 led with dark olive green. 



The flesh is thick, of fine texture, and pale 

 yellow in color. It is unexcelled for baking — 

 the shape and size make it perfect for this pur- 

 pose and none is better for pies. When boiled 

 it is dry, granular and mealy. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., Si.00 M lb.

Henderson's 

 Heart o' Gold Squash 



One of the handsomest varieties 

 grown. The fruits are large, averaging 

 30 lbs. in weight. The vine is vigorous 

 and bears a heavy crop. The fruits are 

 very attractive in appearance. The 

 exterior is heavily warted and closely 

 ribbed, reddish orange in color, with a 

 very hard shell.. The flesh is deep, re- 

 markably granular and solid, and is far 

 better in quality than any other large 

 Squash. 

 It is equallv good whether bakM or boiled, and is often used for pies, for which purpose 

 its superior quality is greatly appreciated, (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. 

 oz., 85c. ?i lb., $3.00 lb. 



" We had a Heart o' Gold Squash weighed 63 lbs., a perfect specimen."

Large Warted Hubbard Squash 



Grow Warted Hubbard and Keep the Best Till Last 



Every one knows that Hubbard Squash is a good keeper. Warted Hubbard 



keeps even better, and is larger. It is named on account of its greater size, 



and the excessive rough "warty" surface of the fruits. This is of no 



value in itself, but heavy warts indicate a hard shell, and the harder the 



shell, so much the better will the Squash keep. The plant is vigorous, 



and bears a heavy crop. The quality is superb and the rich, fine-grained, 



yellow flesh almost fills the fruit. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 



20c. oz., 60c. U lb-, $2.00 lb. 



Hubbard Squash 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR STRAIN 



\ This is an old favorite and very popular. The vines are strong, of 



luxuriant growth and very productive, yielding large, heavy Squashes 



of dark bluish-green color. It is an excellent keeper and if properly 



stored may be used until May. Price, Sc. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. }£ 



lb., $2.00 lb.
