Henderson's Delicata Squash. 



For both summer and winter use. Dry, sweet and rich. 

 Wonderfully prolific. 



DELICATA is the earliest of any vine Squash, maturing but 

 a few daA's later than the summer varieties, and it will doubt- 

 less largely supplant the latter class, as Delicata is far su- 

 perior in quality, being as dry, sweet and richly flavored as 

 any winter squashes. The fruits, although of small size, are 

 very solid and heavy, and are borne with remarkable free- 

 dom; twelve hills of two plants each gave us 352 squashes 

 of excellent quality. Seed cavities very small; flesh fine- 

 grained; surface color, orange splashed with green. Properly 

 stored they keep well through the winter. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. i lb., $1.00 lb. 



"/ want nothing 7nore delicious for my own use than your beautiful little 

 •Delicata Squash." JOHN F. WIELANDY, Santa Fe, New Mexico. 



"I have planted your Delicata Squash for seven or eight years and can truly say 

 it is the best^ll-seasons Squash I have ever used. I never cared much for Squash, 

 but could 'eat my weight,' so to speak, in Delicata, at any time." 



F. B. SWIFT, Danbury, Conn. 



"I had your Delicata Squash once, and I want them again. Best Squash I 

 ever ate." Dr. J. H.T. McDOWELL, Martin, Texas. 



"Henderson's Delicata Sg^lash is a wonderful Squash. II is one of the most 

 deliciously fine-flavored Squashes I ever ate. Two hills of tir.ee vines each pro- 

 duced twenty sweet, perfect Squashes." JOHN P. RHODES, Rahway, N. J.

strong, bealtliy vine. Bountiful yielder. 

 The best for pies and cooking. Deep, solid, fine-grained j 

 flesb of brilliant reddisb=orange; quality, 

 flavor and dryness unequaled. 



This is one of the best autumn and 

 winter squashes — -a good keeper. The

 proof, and produces a fine crop of large 

 reddish-orange squashes, weighing 

 from 25 to 35 lbs. each. The flesh is 

 golden-red, very deep, fine-grained, 

 sweet and dry, and of the finest 

 flavor, either boiled, steamed, baked 

 or in pies. (See ctit.) Price, lOc. pkt.,

"We had a Heart o' Gold Squash in our 

 garden that weighed 100 pounds; it was quite 

 a curiosity about here, so we had it photographed 

 and send you a copy. On another vine from 

 the same plant there are three squashes that will 

 reach at least 50, 40 and 30 lbs. each." 



Mrs. E. A. WOLCOTT, Tallmadge, Ohio. 



' 'I write particularly to tell you about our Heart 

 o' Gold Squash; it is certainly the very best 

 squash we have ever eaten — dry, fine-flavored 

 and thick-meaied."

 eating, but is magnificent in appearance when 

 ripe, a noble production surely; for an exhibition
