niPROVED GREEX STRIPED CASHAW PUMPKIN. 



GREEN STRIPED, or IMPROVED CASHAW. 



This is a great improvement on the well-known \ellow 

 Cashaw Pumpkin in verv many respects, and tliose who 

 ha ve thus far grown them ignore the Yellow Cashaw entirely. 

 They are much more beautiful in appearance, being a distinct 

 mottled green and white striped, as shown in above cut. 

 The flesh is a rich vellow color, solid, fine grained, very 

 thick, sweet and excellentfor pies, and equally goodfor bak- 

 ing. They are verv hardy, bugs seldom bother them, can 

 be grown"among the corn, and yield a much heavier crop 

 than Yellow Cashaw, and better for stock feeding. They 

 are hard to beat. Try them. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; Ji lb., 

 .30c., lb., Sl.OO.

 perfectly globular, with rich deep scarlet top, blending into 

 pure wliite at the bottom, exceedingly tender, crisp and

 able for forcing, being fit to pull inthree weeks from sowing,
