 of Summer Squashes, and I can particularly recommend my selected 

 stock to til e attention of all market growers. Of bushy dwarf habit, 

 they are very productive. Flesh is greenish-yellow, dry, and of a most agree- 

 able flavor, so "much so that it is the most highly esteemed of all the Summer

Summer and Autumn use, is the richest flavored and 

 sweetest of all squashes. It is liked for table use in every 

 stage of its growth. During the months of August, 

 September and October it has no equal. It is enormously 

 productive. A single plant has yielded as many as twelve 

 perfectly ripened squashes. The flesh is. yellow, slightly

PINEAPPLE.-As a Winter Sanash, 

 ahead of every other variety for making pies 

 or custards, which in flavor remarkably re- 

 semble cocoanut. Can also be sliced and 

 fried same as esg plant; it keeps wonderfully 

 till late in the Spring, and I have seen 

 tliem kept In perfect condition for 

 over one year. Combine wonderful pro- 

 ductiveness, with a desirable selling size and

DER WING. — Has been extensively adver- 

 tised; grows 5 in. long, 3 in. through. Hardy, pro- 

 ductive, and on account of its thick shell, which 

 is covered with warts, is a good winter keeper.

ESSEX HI BRID.- It is not only one of the richest flavored, finest 

 grained, and sweetest of all the squash family, but one of the very best keepers 

 I know of. The flesh is thick, rich colored, and solid ; it is also one of the 

 most productive squashes ever introduced. On a vine X% feet long 3 

 squashes, weighing collectively, 39 pounds, have been counted, all about the 

 same size and well ripened. Pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 10 cts. ; % lb., 25 cts. ; lb., 75 cts.

- by 



one and all, to be absolutely one of the best squashes ever introduced. 

 Every new sort is claimed to be equal to or better than the Hubbard; this 

 one point will emphasize the superior merits of the Hubbard Squash. 

 Flesh, light orange, very dry, sweet and rich flavored. Has no superior 

 for winter use, as it keeps perfectly through the winter, three months 

 later than the Marrow. Really, Hubbard is so well known as not to 

 need any description. I offer particularly choice seed saved from se- 

 lected specimens. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, is cts.; % lb., 50 cts.; lb. SI. 50.
