is a very early winter variety of medium size; color usually 



about like Hubbard but sometimes lighter in color and 



mottled, 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;

somewhat pointed, of deep orang^e red color and though 



quite smooth has as hard a shell as the Hubbard. Flesh very

quality similar to but much finer than that of the choicest 



pumpkin. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; ^ Lb. 25c; Lb. 80c.
