Henderson's Delicata Squash 



For Both Summer and Winter Use. Dry, Sweet and Rich — Wonderfully Prolific 



This beautiful Squash is orange-yellow, splashed and striped with 

 dark green on the outside. Delicata is the earliest of any vine 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 ordinary 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 dry, granular 

 and mealy. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. M lb-, 

 $3.00 lb. 



^£gg Waited Hubbard Squash 



Grow Warted Hubbard and Keep the Best Till Last 



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 vigorous, and bears a heavy crop. The quality is superb 

 and the rich, fine-grained, yellow flesh almost fills the fruit. (See engraving, 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. }.i lb., $2.50 lb.
