HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND 

 WHITE BUSH. 



The white scalloped "Patty Pan" 

 or " Cymling " has for years been 

 a favorite summer Squash, on ac- 

 count of its earliness, etc., but 

 this new sort is a vast improve- 

 ment; it is nearly as early, more 

 prolific and the fruits are much 

 deeper, and have less prominent 

 scallops, consequently are easier 

 prepared, contain less waste and 

 almost twice the amount of flesh, 

 which is also of finer quality. The 

 plants are of the true bush habit.

 size, are very solid and heavy, and are borne with 

 remarkable freedom. Seed cavities small; flesh

 green. Properlv stored they keep well into the

 yellow and fine-grained, and whether boiled, 

 steamed or baked, it is always richly flavored, 

 sweet and dry. The vines are strong, luxuriant 

 in growth and very productive, yielding large, 

 heavy fruits of dark bluish-green color, weigh- 

 ing often 10 to 25 lbs. each. Properly stored 

 it may be kept from September to May. Price,
