This is something new 

 in Squashes, Sent out last 

 season by Gregory & Son; 

 they are experts on 

 squashes, and every time 

 a new variety is sent out 

 by them it is a little bet- 

 ter in quality than the 

 former one. Mr. Symmes, 

 the originator, obtained it 

 by careful selection from 

 the Hubbard, on which he 

 iias been working for sev- 

 eral years. It is of a light 

 blue color, resembling 

 the Warted Hubbard in 

 shape, though excelling 

 this variety in flavor and 

 dryness, and surpasses 

 all other varieties in 

 productiveness. The in- 

 troducers say this is our

The Delicious Squash 



This new variety comes from the originator of the well-known Hubbard. It is one of 

 the best flavored squashes in existence. The name is given in reference to its quality "de- 

 licious" the word mostly used to describe its quality. It is the result of years of selection 

 and crossing between the Hubbard and other varieties. It is uniformly of a green color 

 when matured. Flesh very thick, of a dark orange color, weight 5 to 10 lbs. For table use 

 it leads all others in its remarkable combination of fine and compact grain, dryness, sweet- 

 ness and richness of flavor. It is a late fall and winter squash. 



Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.00. 



Parsnips, New Intermediate 



This new sort does not require the depth of soil for its cultivation that is necessary for 

 the older varieties. Although equal in quality and flavor to the old sorts, the roots of 

 this variety are only one-half to two-thirds as long when grown under ordinary conditions. 



On heavy or clay soils Intermediate is especially valuable. It yields a heavy crop of 

 the best looking roots and is easy to harvest. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 25 cts., lb. 

 75 cts.
