EVEIRYTHEHG FOR T 



HENDERSON'S 



DELIGATA SQUASH 



For Both Summer and Winter Use. 



Dry, Sweet and Rich 



Wonderfully Prolific 



822. This beautiful Squash is oranae-j'-ellow, splashed 

 and striped vnth dark green on the outside. Delicata is the 

 earliest of any A-ine Squash and is so prolific that last 

 season, from twelve. hills of two plants each, 352 perfect 

 Squashes were gathered. 



Delicata is of such convenient size that the entire Squash 

 can be used at one time, as it is just large enough for an 

 orc'inary family. 



It is ready almost as soon as the early summer 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. 



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 purpose — and none is better for pies. When 

 boiled it is drv, granular and mealy. (See etigraving.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 80c. pz., 85c. M lb., $2.50 lb.

Large Waited Hubbard Squash 



Grow Warted Hubbard and Keep the Best Till Last 



832. Everyone 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 ^dgorous, and Ijears a heavy crop. The qualityis 

 superb and the rich, fine-grained, yellow flesh almost fills the fruit. 

 (See engraving.) Price, lOc. pkt, 25c. oz., 65c. }4 lb., $2.00 lb. 



"I raised Henderson's Large Warted Hubbard Squash last year. It produced a

 dition." ALLEN T. GILBERT, Fairfax, Y I.
