 best keepers. Price, 10c. oz.,

HUBBARD SQUASH. 



(Henderson's Superior Strain.) 



A very fine selection of the 

 old shallow warted type. It 

 has a hard shell, fine color, 

 thick, yellow, fine grained 

 flesh, and is one of the best 

 winter Squashes grown. Price, 

 10c. oz., 30c. \ lb., 90c. lb. 



HENDERSON'S 

 LONG ISLAND WHITE BUSH. 



A greatly improved form of the old 

 White Bush Scalloped. The diameter of 

 the fruit is about the same, but much 

 deeper and the scallops are almost ab- 

 sent, so that there is no waste in peeling. 

 It is equally good in quality and yields a 

 large crop. The plant is a true bush.

LARGE WARTED HUBBARD SQUASH. 



A larger, and heavier stock than the ordinary 

 sort. It averages ten per cent, larger, the skin 

 is harder and it is decidedly darker in color. 

 The warts are larger and cover the entire fruit, 

 giving it a rougher and hardier appearance 

 than any. It is the best keeper of all and will 

 mature a greater number of large fruits than any of its 

 class. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. oz., 30c. \ lb., $1.00 lb.
