Mammoth Wh:te Bush Scallop Squas.- 



Many seedsmen have listed Mammoth "White 

 Bush Scallop Squash, but until we sent out our 

 stock in 1895,there was no uniformly large clear 

 white scalloped squash in trade. The fruit is a 

 beautiful clear waxy-white instead of 

 the yellowish- white so often seen in the 

 old Early White Bush Scallop and is 

 superior to that variety in everj- re- 

 spect. The best of the scalloi>ed 

 squa.shes. Pkt. of, Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c;

Early Ye**o>^"- 

 Qush ^callop 



A mammoth, very early, flat, scallop 

 shaped variety; color yellow ; flesh pale 

 yellow and well flavored: very produc- 

 tive; used when young and tender. We 

 have developed a strain of the oldYellow 

 Bush Scallop which is uniformly larger 

 and flatter than the old stock and has a 

 verj' small seed cavity. Its superiority 

 is so great that we should be justified 

 by xjrevailing custom in renaming it.

 OOolOn IflCirrVJlIf very popular in the Boston

Green Mountain 



UBBARD ... 



H 



■ This is a superior variety 



^ and one of the best of win- 



ter squashes; flesh bright orange 

 yellow, fine grained. very dry. sweet 

 and rich flavored : keeps perfectly 

 good throughout the winter: boils 

 or bakes exceedingh' dry and is es- 

 teemed bj' many to be as good 

 baked as the sweet potato. 'Our 

 stock is most carefiilly selected 

 with regard to quality of the flesh 

 and color and wartiness of the shell 

 but the latter peculiarities are 

 largely determined by the soils in 

 which the squashes are raised. Our 

 customers can plant this variety in perfect 

 confidence that every fruit will be a pure 

 Hubbard. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c;

GOLDEN HUBBARD 



This is a True Hubbard Squash except in 

 Color which is Bright Red. 



The vine is a vigorous but not rampant grower and won- 

 derfully productive, expending the energy derived from lib- 

 eral fertilizing in the production of an increased number 

 rather than of overgrown and coarse fruits as some varieties 

 are apt to do. It ripens its crop very early and uniformly, thus 

 making it a certain cropper. The fruits are very uniform in 

 size, weighing from six to eight pounds, and in shape are like 

 the Hubbard. Though maturing early they are wonderfully 

 long keei>ers so they can be held over in good condition for 

 spring use. The shell is warty, hard and strong and a very 

 beautiful orange red color except for a bit of olive green on 

 the blossom end. The flesh is a deep orange and uniformly so 

 to the rind, never having the green tinge so objectionable in the 

 older sort. It cooks very dry. fine grained and good flavored. 



We believe this is the best fall and winter sort yet intro- 

 duced and that it deserves to and will become a most popular 

 variety. It certainlv has no superior as a table squash.

This is decidedly larger 



than the Hubbard. The 



flesh is of excellent quality and free from the green tinge so 



objectionable in that sort.

Hubbard Squash. 



Early ProllFic Orange Marrow 



A variety developed by selection from the Boston Marrow, and 

 not so large but much earlier, and the earliest of the winter 

 varieties. Fruit deep orange color netted with cream; shape 

 similar to Boston Marrow; flesh thick, deep yellow, of fine 

 quahty. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c: 2 Oz. 15c; h Lb. 20c: Lb. 50c. 



Hard Shelled Marrow ... 



A New Variety, giving the Largest Yield per Acre. 

 The Best Sort for Pies and for Canning or Drying. 



We have been at work on till^^ variety tor several years and 

 now have it so well fixed that it comes true to type. The 

 fruit is very large, oval, deep orange red color, and though^ 

 quite smooth has as hard a shell as the Hubbard. The flesli is 

 very thick, rich orange red color and has no equal for making 

 pies, having a peculiar flavor and quality similar to. but much 

 firmer tlmn that of the choice-;t Pumpkin. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;
