w^ |. . We are convinced that this squash is par- u i i j 



LlellCIOUS ticularly excellent in quality and in that rlUDbara 

 respect is now by many considered even better than 

 the Hubbard. It is a very early winter variety of med- 

 ium size; shell moderately hard but very thin; flesh 

 thick, fine grained and bright yellow in color. Even 

 when immature this squash is in condition for use and 

 of finest flavor. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 3 Oz. 30; ^ Lb. 30c;

U J 01_ 11 J n/l The best sort for canning 



Hard Shelled Marrow or drying. Fruit very 



large, oval, of deep orange red color and though quite 



smooth, has as hard a shell as the Hubbard. 



Flesh very thick, rich orange-red without 



a tinge of green even close to the shell and 



unequalled for making pies, having a flavor 



and quality similar to but mvich finer Ihan 



that of the choicest pumpkin
