SQUASH- 



AUTUMN AND WINTER 



r\ i« • We are convinced that this squash is particular- 



UellClOUS ly excellent in quality and in that respect it is 

 now by many considered even better than the Hubbard. It 

 is a fall and winter variety of medium size. Color usually 

 dark green but sometimes lighter in color and mottled, shell 

 moderately hard but very thin. Flesh thick, very fine grained 

 and bright yellow in color. Even when immature this squash 

 is in condition for use and of finest flavor. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 

 2 Oz. 20c; y 4 Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00

Hard Shelled MarrOW drying. Fruit large, oval, 

 somewhat pointed, of deep orange red color and though 

 quite smooth has as hard a shell as the Hubbard. Flesh very 

 thick, rich orange-red without a tinge of green even close to 

 the shell and unequalled for making pies, having a flavor and 

 quality similar to but much finer than that of the choicest 

 pumpkin. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; Va Lb. 25c; Lb. 80c.
