 speak, in Delicata, at any time. "

 Squash. It is one of tlte most deliciously fine- 

 flavored Squaslies I ever ate.

 Rahway, N. J. 



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

 the outside. The flesh, is rich, dry and particularly fine. For private use we can 

 recommend it as surpassing in richness of flavor any of the large, old-fashioned sorts. 

 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; a desirable 

 feature is its small size ; not too large for an ordinary family; is wonderfully solid 

 and heavy, the seed cavities being very small; it is also extremely early, maturing 

 about the same time as the Summer Squashes, and for early use will doubtless sup- 

 plant this class on account of its superior dryness and flavor, while its extreme solidity 

 renders it fullv as good a keeper as anv of the winter varieties. (See cut.) 10c.

Large Warted HUBBARD Squash. 



Avery large strain of the famous Hubbard, retaining all the excellent 

 features of the parent, with the additional merits of thicker flesh, finer 

 color, increased size, better constitution and productiveness. It has an 

 extremely hard, tough and densely-warted shell, which not only indicates 

 superior quality, but renders it one of the best winter keepers. (See cut.)

" / wish to say that on two vines of your Heart o' Gold Squash 

 we raised eight squaslies; five of them averaged ?5 pounds each and 

 the other three 28 pounds each. They took the first premium at 

 our County Fair, and were objects of much comment and greatly 

 admired. " 



JAS. W. HINDWOHL, Leetoivn, II'. Va.

 nificent in appearance when ripe, a noble production surely; for 

 an exhibition they are also A 1."

 must write you about the Heart of Gold Squash. It is certainly the 

 very best squash we have ever eaten, dry and fine flavored."
