largest size; color yellow; flesh pale yellow and 

 well flavored. We have developed a strain of the 

 old Yellow Bush Scallop which is fully as produc- 

 tive but uniformly larger and flatter than the old 

 stock and has a very small seed cavity. Its superi- 

 ority is so great that we should be justified by pre- 

 vailing custom in renaming it. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;

WHITE SUmpiEB CBflOKHEGK ^'"•"Ssl^* "^ 



This excellent variety of our own introduction is 

 the result of years of careful breeding and selec- 

 tion and it is now one of the most fixed and distinct 

 of our summer squashes. The fruit is similar in 

 size and shape to the Summer Crookneck, but of a 

 beautiful ivory white color, and unsurpassed in 

 quality. We recommend this sort as the most 

 beautiful and one of the very best of the summer 

 varieties. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10; 2 Oz. 15c; % Lb. 25c;

TMC nC! ininn^ we are convinced that 

 llJEUtUulUUD this squash is particu-. 

 larly excellent in quality and in that 

 respect is by some preferred even to 

 the Hubbard. It is a'very early winter 

 variety of medium size; shell moder- 

 ately hard but very thin; flesh thick, 

 fine grained and bright yellow in color. 

 Even when immature this squash is in 

 condition for use and is of very fine

drying. We have been at work on this 

 ' variety for several years and now have 

 ' it so well fixed that it comes uniformly 

 true to type. The fruit is very large, 

 oval, of deep orange-red color and 

 though quite smooth, has as hard a 

 shell as the Hubbard. The flesh is very 

 thick, of rich orange-red color without 

 a tinge of green even close to the shell, 

 and unequaled for making pies, ha^dng 

 a flavor and quality similar to, but 

 much finer than that of the choicest 

 pumpkin. Pkt. 5cts; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 16c:
