 Boddington's Extra-Early Jersey White Bush. 



This is an improved strain of the old White Bush Squash, tlie result 

 of selections which have been made for a number of years by a prom- 

 inent nearby market gardener. It grows in the bush form, and is 

 enormously productive. The Squashes mature fully ten days earlier 

 than the old sort, and are of good size. They show less ridge or 

 scallop, being better filled out, and contain a larger amount of flesh 

 than the parent variety. The Squashes cook well and the flavor is 

 delicious. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., '/lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.
