 UDDSira vigorous and very productive. Finiit large, 

 heavy, moderately warted, with very hard shell. Skin uni- 

 formly dark bronze green. Flesh bright orange-yellow, fine 

 grained, thick, dry and richly flavored. Can be kept in good 

 condition until spring.

 to be as good baked as 

 the sweet potato. Oiu-

 lected in regard to 

 quality of the flesh and 

 color of the shell and 

 is much superior to 

 that sold as Chicago

1^ ]• ; We are convinced that this 



L/eilClOUS squash is particularly excellent 

 in quality and in that respect it is now by 

 many considered even better than the Hub- 

 bard. It is a Hall and winter variety of me- 

 dium size. The fruits are moderately hard, 

 usually dark green but sometimes lighter in 

 color and mottled, and are without any hard 

 shell. Flesh thick, veiy fine grained and 

 bright yellow in color. Even when some- 

 what immature this squash is in condition 

 for use and of finest flavor. Pkt. 5c: Oz. lOc

 pointed, of deep orange red color and though 

 quite smooth has as hard a shell as the Hub-

 flavor and quality similar to but much finer 

 than that of the choicest pumpkin. Pkt. 5c;

TOBACCO 



The seed should be 

 sown as early as possible 

 after danger of frost is 

 over. It is customary to 

 burn a quantity of brush 

 and rubbish in the spring 

 on the ground intended 

 for the seed bed; then 

 dig and pulverize the 

 earth and mix with the 

 ashes, after which the 

 seed may be sown and 

 covered very lightly. 

 "When the plants are 

 about six inches high, 

 transplant into rows 

 four or five feet apart 

 each way. Cultivate 

 thoroughly with plow 

 and hoe.
