DELICIOUS (x 1/3) 



No. 968 — Delicious 



Days to Maturity, 120. Introduced by Gregory in 1903, and 

 offered by Ferry the same year. It is especially suited for fall and 

 winter purposes. Although not of very thick shell, it is strong 

 enough to give it good keeping qualities. The color is a very deep, 

 dark green, which will sometimes be mottled with lighter shading. 

 The bright yellow flesh is fine-grained and of the most delicious 

 quality. Although it is not a strictly new variety, this is the first 

 time it has been offered to our trade, and we recommend it highly. 

 Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c, 34 lb. 75c, 1 lb. $2.50, postpaid. 



No. 676— Bay State 



Days to Maturity, 125. This variety came on the market about 

 1888, and is of New England origin. It is an extremely solid variety 

 of excellent flavor. The shell is hard and flinty, which gives it 

 good keeping qualities. The color is distinct from any other squash 

 which we offer, being a light bluish-green. The flesh is a bright 

 golden yellow. Although we have not listed this squash for a 

 number of years, the old firm of Johnson & Stokes carried it as far 

 back as 1889. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c, M lb. 75c, 1 lb. $2.50, postpaid.

EARLY WHITE BUSH SQUASH (x 1/3) 



No. 670— Hubbard 



Days to Maturity, 125. Introduced by Gregory in 1856. This is 

 perhaps, the best known of the winter squashes. The vines are of 

 vigorous, trailing growth, bearing large, oval fruits of a rich, dark 

 green color. They are usually slightly curved at the stem end. Its 

 flesh is fine grained and tender. Hubbard Squash is one of the best 



keeping varieties on the market. 

 1 lb. $2.50, postpaid.

No. 674 — Boston Marrow 



Days to Maturity, 125. A very old variety listed by B. K. Bliss 

 in 1860. Boston Marrow is, perhaps, grown more by the general 

 farmer than any other variety. It is bright orange color, oval 

 shaped and of very good quality for pies and canning purposes. The 

 flesh is tender, fine grained and of excellent flavor. The sturdy vines 

 are very productive. The hard rind of Boston Marrow makes it 

 not only an excellent squash for winter keeping, but gives it special 

 merit as a shipping sort. Unquestionably the best known and most 



popular squash, 

 paid. 



Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, \i lb. 65c, 1 lb. $2.00, post- 



No. 672— Golden Hubbard 



Days to Maturity, 125. This variety came on the market about 

 1898. It is very similar to Hubbard, except in outside color, being 

 a brilliant golden orange, making it, perhaps, one of the most 

 attractive squashes under cultivation. The flesh is a deeper golden 

 yellow. Golden Hubbard will, unquestionably, take the place of 



the older Hubbard eventually. 

 $2.50, postpaid.
