 MAMMOTH CHILI 



SQUASH I think I can justly 



claim to have the best strain of 

 this squash in the market, cer- 

 tainlythereisnobetter. Theouter 

 color" is a rich orange-yellow ; nesh 

 is very thick and of a rich yellow 

 color : quality good, and very nu- 

 tritious. They are most profitable 

 to grow for stock feeding, particu- 

 larly when root crops are not largely 

 grown. They keep well throughout 

 the entire winter and spring. It is very 

 productive. In 1SS3 Mr. Hewitt, of Nova 

 Scotia, exhibited a Mammoth Squash at 

 the Dominion Exhibition, weighin? 292 lbs.
