The Delicious Squash 



We agaiu call attention to The Delicious on account of its superiority in quality when compared 

 with any variety heretofore considered the standard of quality. While a little uneven in shape and ex- 

 terior color the flesh when cooked is deep j^ellow, very fine grained and of superlative flavor. In the 

 latter respect it is without doubt unequalled by any squash yet introduced. Although properly an 

 autumn or early winter variety it is suitable for use very early, even before fully matured, and its good 

 keeping qualities permit its being carried well into the winter. Since The Delicious was first offered 

 we have by careful selection made a marked improvement in uniformity of type. {^See further descrip- 

 tion and ad page ^4. ) 



Globe Onions 



Dwarf Champion Pea 



The steadily increasing popularity of the globe type of Onion is no doubt due to the fact that good 

 globe onions command the highest market price. Intelligent and carefully directed efforts on 

 our Oakview seed farms have done much for the development and maintenance of these superior 

 types. It is not alone sufficient to breed up a strain to the ideal but it is necessary year after year to 

 give the most careful cultivation and selection to prevent any deterioration; this is especially true of 

 onions. We have studied the problem long and carefully and are convinced that our strains of White 

 Globe, Soutbport Red Globe and Michigan Yellow Globe are unequalled in their respective classes. Unifor- 

 mity and excellence of type in re.<^;pect to shape, size and color, and evenness of maturing are points in 

 our stocks which are highly appreciated by critical onion growers. [See colored plate page 41; descrip- 

 tions and prices pages 40 and 42.]
