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.

HENDERSON'S DELICATA is the earliest of any 

 vine Squash, maturing but a few days later than 

 the summer varieties, and is far superior in 

 quality, being as dry, sweet and richly flavored as 

 any winter squash. The fruits, although of small 

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

 remarkable freedom. Seed cavities small; flesh 

 fine-grained; surface color, orange splashed with 

 green. Properlv stored they keep well into the 

 winter. Price, 10c. oz., 30c. \ lb., $1.00 lb.

 Squash for autumn use; skin thin, reddish- 

 yellow; flesh dry, fine-grained and delicious.

HUBBARD. (Henderson's Superior Strain.) This 

 old and popular favorite is still one of the very 

 best winter squashes grown; flesh deep golden- 

 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, 

 10c. oz., 30c. \ lb., $1.00 lb.

 strain of the famous Hubbard, retaining all the 

 excellent features of the parent. It has thicker 

 flesh, finer color, greater size, better constitution 

 and productiveness. It has an extremely hard 

 rough or warty shell which not only indicates su- 

 perior quality, but renders it one of the best 

 winter keepers. (See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 30c.
