Blue Hubbard Squash in Squashes, Sent out last 



season by Gregory & Son; 

 they are experts on 

 squashes, and every time 

 a new variety is sent out 

 by them it is a little bet- 

 ter in quality than the 

 former one. Mr. Symmes, 

 the originator, obtained it 

 by careful selection from 

 the Hubbard, on which he 

 las been working for sev- 

 eral years. It is of a light 

 blue color, resembling 

 the TVarted Hubbard in 

 shape, though excelling 

 this variety in flavor and 

 dryness, and surpasses 

 all other varieties in 

 productiveness. The in- 

 troducers say this is our 

 ninth introduction and our best. It is also a good keeper and will keep longer after being 

 cut open than most varieties without showing mold. 



Per pkt. 10 cts., 2 pkts. 15 cts., oz. 15 cts., *4 lb. 50 cts. 



The Delicious Squash 



This new variety comes from the originator of the well-known Hubbard. It is one of 

 the best flavored squashes in existence. The name is given in reference to its quality "de- 

 licious" the word mostly used to describe its quality. It is the result of years of selection 

 and crossing between the Hubbard and other varieties. It is uniformly of a green color 

 when matured. Flesh very thick, of a dark orange color, weight 5 to 10 lbs. For table use 

 it leads all others in its remarkable combination of fine and compact grain, dryness, sweet- 

 ness and richness of flavor. It is a late fall and winter squash. 



Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., % lb. 50 cts., lb. §1.50. 



Banana Squash 



This is an old variety of a generation or more ago, to come back again, it is listed in 

 some catalogues as the Plymouth Rock, but is the same variety. It is probably the finest 

 in quality ever grown. The color is a grayish green, shell soft so it can be cut with a knife. 

 It grows from 18 to 24 inches long and 6 to 8 inches thick. It is very prolific, but a shy 

 seeder which makes the seed a little higher in price. Flesh is free from fibre or stringiness 

 and of a most delicious flavor. Seed scarce. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., % lb. 50 cts.
