SQUASH . . . 



GOINTIINUBD 



Rummer crookneck. 



The old standard sort; very early and productive. 

 Fruits about one foot long, with crooked neck, and 

 covered with warty excrescences; color bright yel- 

 low; shell very hard when ripe. Pkt. 5c: Oz. 10c ; 

 2 Oz. 15c; \ Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c. 



When we obtained the stock of this very valuable variety in 1888, we found 

 that quite a proportion of the vines made runners. We set vigorously to work 

 weeding out these, and were so successful that we introduced it with the claim 

 that it was the best summer squash in the country. Our own experience and 

 that of our customers fully justifies this assertion. It is the best summer 

 squash, and for these reasons: It is twice as large as the ordinary Summer 

 Crookneck, far more warty and several days earlier. This combination of earliness, large size and wartiness, which adds so 

 much to its attractiveness, makes it altogether the most desirable squash for the market or private garden.

WINTER SQUASHES 



BOSTON MARROW. 



A fall and winter variety, 

 very popular in the Bos- 

 ton market. Of oval form; skin thin, when ripe, bright orange, 

 mottled with light cream color; flesh rich salmon yellow, fine 

 grained, and for sweetness and excellence unsurpassed, but 

 not as dry as the Hubbard. We have an unusually good stock 

 of this sort. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; ^ Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c. 



Ml 1 R R I\ D r% This is a superior variety and 

 ^^UiJT^M^L^ one of the best of wmter 

 squashes; flesh bright orange yellow, fine grained, very 

 dry, sweet and rich flavored; keeps perfectly good throughout 

 the winter; boils or bakes exceedingly dry and is es- 

 teemed by many to be as good baked as the sweet 

 potato. We have taken the utmost pains with this sort, 

 and can recommend our stock as in all probabiUty 

 the best in the country, and think our customers 

 can plant it in perfect confidence that every 

 fruit will be a pure Hubbard. Pkt. 5c; 

 Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; k Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. 



GOLDEN HUBBARD . . . 



This is a very distinct sort of the 

 shape and general character of the 

 Hubbard but a little smaller; earlier 

 to mature and of rich orange-red 

 color, instead of the dark olive green 

 of the old Hubbard, while the flesh 

 is a little deeper colored and fully 

 as good quality. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 

 2 Oz. 25c; h Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



QREEN MOUNTAIN . . . 



This is decidedly larger than the Hub- 

 bard. The flesh is of excellent quality and 

 free from the green tinge so objectionable 

 in that sort. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. l&c; 

 ?iLb. 26c; Lb. 76c. 



EARLY PROLIFIC ORANGE MARROW 



A variety developed by selection from the Boston Mar- 

 row, and not so large but much earlier, and the earliest of 

 the winter varieties. Fruit deep orange color netted with 

 cream; shape similar to Boston Marrow; flesh thick, deep 

 yellow, of fine quahty. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; h Lb.
