HUBBAKD SQIJASH su?!S 



HENDERSON'S :: 

 STRAIN 



This old and popular favorite is still one of the very best winter squashes 

 grown; flesh deep golden-yellow and fine-grained, and whether boiled, steamed or 

 baked, it is always richly flavored, sweet and dry. The vines are strong, of 

 luxuriant growth and very productive, yielding large, heavy squashes of dark 

 bluish-green color, weighing often 1 to 25 lbs. each. Properly stored it may be 

 kept from September to May. Price, 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 55c. > 4 lb., $1.75 lb. 



Large Warted HUBBARD Squash 



A very large strain of the famous Hubbard, retainin 

 the excellent features of the parent, with the additional ^ 

 merits of thicker flesh, finer color, increased size, better ^5 

 constitution and productiveness. It has an extreme 

 ly hard, tough and densely-warted shell, one of 

 the best winter keepers. (See cut.) Price, 10c 

 pkt., 20c. oz., 55c. i 4 lb., $1.75 lb. 



HENDERSON'S 



DELICATA SQLjASH 



FOK BOTH SUMMEK AND WINTEK USE 



DELICIOUSLY DRY, SWEET AND 

 RICH. WONDERFULLY PROLIFIC 



This beautiful Squash is orange-yellow, 

 splashed and striped with dark green on the 

 outside. The flesh, is rich, dry and particu- 

 larly fine. For private use we can recommend 

 it as surpassing in richness of flavor any of the 

 large, old-fashioned sorts. Delicata is the 

 earliest of any vine Squash and is so prolific 

 that last season, from twelve hills of two 

 plants each, 352 perfect Squashes were gather- 

 ed; a desirable feature is its small size ; not 

 too large for an ordinary family; is wonder- 

 fully solid and heavy, the seed cavities being 

 very small; it is also extremely early, maturing 

 about the same time as the Summer Squashes, 

 and for earlv use will doubtless supplant this 

 class on account of its superior dryness and 

 flavor, while its extreme solidity renders it fully 

 as good a keeper as any of the winter varie- 

 ties. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 55c. }4 

 lb., $1.75 lb. 



"/ have planted your Delicata Squash for seven or eight 

 years and can truly say it is the best all-szasons Squash 

 I have ever used. I never cared much for Squash, but 

 could 'eat my weight,' so to speak, in Delicata, at any 

 time." F. B. SWIFT, Danbury. Conn. 



" Henderson's Delicata Squash is a wonderful Squash. 

 It is one of the most deliciously fine-flavored Squashes I 

 ever ate." JOHN P. RHUUKb.
