Hendersons Dclicata Squash 



FOK SUMMEK, FALL AND WINTEK USE 



DRY. SWEET AND RICH 



WONDEKFULLY PROLIFIC 



Delicata is the earliest of any vine Squash, maturing but a few 

 days later than the summer bush varieties, and it has largely sup- 

 planted the latter class with those who have tried it, as Delicata is 

 far superior in quality, being as dry, sweet and richly flavored as any 

 winter Squash. The fruits, although of small size, are very solid 

 and heavy, and are borne with remarkable freedom; twelve hills of 

 two plants each gave us 352 Squashes. Seed cavity very 

 small; flesh fine-grained; surface color, orange splashed with green. 

 Properly stored they keep well through the winter. {See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. }i lb., $1.50 lb. 



"/ cannot let another day go past without letting you know how we have enjoyed 

 your 'Delicata' Squash. I consider it one of the best Squashes ever sent out. li 

 brings one in mind of the English Vegetable Marrow, only 50 per cent, better. A good 

 grower and good cropper." ROBERT CARRUTHERS, Woodstock, Vt. 



"I never enjoyed myself eating Squash as well as your 'Delicata,' so dry, so 

 rich and so sweet. We have a few of them yet. " 



K. P. TINKHAM. Topeka, Kan. 

 "I have planted your Delicata Squash for seven or eight years and can truly say 

 it is: the best all-seasons Squash I have ever used. I never cared much for 

 Squash, but could 'eat my weight,' so to speak, in Delicata, at any lime." 



F. B. SWIFT, Danbury, Conn. 

 "I had your Delicata Squash once, and I want them again. Best Squash I ever 

 ate." Dr. J. H. T. McDOWELL, Marlin, Texas.

Henderson's 



Early Prolific 

 Marrow Squash 



A very popular second early Squash 

 for autumn and early winter use. Simi- 

 lar to, but an improvement over Boston 

 Marrow; being earlier andmoreproduc- 

 tive. Skin thin and of a deep orange- 

 red color; flesh deep, fine-grained, dry, 

 sweet and delicious. A good keeper.

 ceasing growth altogether early in the 

 season. Each vine usually produces 3 to 

 4 fruits averaging 9 to 10 pounds each 

 in weight. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 

 30c. M lb-. $1-00 lb. 



Hubbard Squash 



(HENDERSON'S SUPERIOK STRAIN) 

 This old and popular favorite is still one of the very best winter 

 Sqtiashes grown; flesh deep golden-yellow, fine-grained, and 

 whether boiled, steamed or baked, it is always richly flavored, 

 sweet and dry. The vines are strong, of luxuriant growth and 

 very productive, 3'ielding large, heavy Squashes of dark bluish- 

 green color, weighing often 10 to 25 lbs. each. Properly stored 

 it mav be kept from September to May. Price, 5c. pkt., 15c.

 Co. Fair last year. The seed was purchased from you." 



Mrs. F. M. BROWN, Wadena, Minn. 



Large NA/arted Hubbard Squash 



A very 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. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. 

 I4 lb., $1.50 lb. 



"/ wish to express my opinion of your Large Warted Hubbard Squash. They 

 were prolific, large and fine." ALFRED MARSH, Detroit. Mich. 



Heart o Gold Squash 



Strong, healthy grower Bountiful yielder The best for 



pies and cooking Deep, solid, fine-grained flesh of brilliant 



reddish'orange; quality, flavor and dryness unequalled 

 This is one of the best autumn and 

 winter Squashes — a good keeper. The 

 vine is a strong grower, almost borer- 

 proof, and a prolific bearer of large 

 reddish-orange Squashes, averaging in 

 weight from 25 to 35 lbs. each, though 

 frequently very much larger and heavier 

 specimens are raised. The flesh is 

 golden-red, very deep, fine-grained, 

 sweet and dry, and of the finest flavor 

 either boiled, steamed, baked, or in 

 pies. Price, 10c pkt., 20c. oz., 55c. 34 

 lb., $1.75 lb. 



" I am well pleased with your 'Heart 0' Gold' 

 Squash. From one hill I raised eight Squash, 

 their total weight being 365 pounds; one of them 

 weighed 100 pounds and was the banner squash 

 of Oswego Co." B. P. WAIT, Minetto, N. Y. 



" I write particularly to tell you about our Heart 

 o' Gold Squash; it is certainly the very best squash 

 we have ever eaten — dry, fine-flavored and thick- 

 meated." G. E. STOPFORD, Amherst, Can. 



"The Heart o' Gold Squash is not only good 

 eating but is magnificent in appearance when ripe, 

 a noble production surely; for exhibition they 

 are also A 1."
