SQUASHES— Continued. 
THE WAR TED HUBBARD. 
This is, in quality, one of the 
best winter sorts. It is attrac- 
tive on the market and a ready 
seller. Very dark green, and 
flesh is dry and sweet. Very 
hard shell, which insures good 
keeping qualities. It is consid- 
ered an improvement on the old 
type of Hubbard on account of 
its warted skin. Pkt., 10c; oz.» 
15c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. 
HUBBARD. The best table 
Squash yet known, rivaled only 
by the "Delicious." Good speci- 
mens are about equal to the sweet 
potato. It has a hard shell, and 
with some care will keep three 
months longer than the Marrows. 
Flesh fine grained, dry, and ex- 
cellent flavor. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 
% lb., 50c; lb,, $1.50. 
RED or GOLDEN HUBBARD. 
This is a very distinct sort, of 
the shape and general character of the Hubbard, but 
a little smaller, earlier to mature, and of a rich 
orange red instead of the dark olive green of the 
old Hubbard, while the flesh is of a little deeper color 
and of fully as good quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 
% lb, 50c; lb., $1.50. 
SIBLEY or PIKE'S PEAK. One of the best ship- 
pers owing to the hardness of the shell. Flesh is 
solid and thick of bright orange color and choice 
quality. Flavor rich and sweet, and it ripens easily. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.60.

sort, valuable for cigar wrappers. Pkt.; 10c; oz., 30c;

facture of fine cut and plug. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c;

A little over fifty years ago the Tomato was a 
weed which was thought to be poisonous. When one 
considers the many different ways in which the to- 
mato is now served and the fact that it is eaten the 
year round one must give it first place among popular 
vegetables. 
It is easy to grow tomatoes but as they require a 
long season it is best to start the plants in a green- 
house, hot bed or in the house. A cigar box kept in 
a sunny kitchen window will do. Sow the seed one- 
eighth to a quarter of an inch deep and keep the 
soil moist. As soon as the seedlings make a second 
pair of leaves transplant to another box or flat, keep- 
ing the plants four inches apart. When all danger 
of frost is over set the plants out in the garden. 
By putting a glass jar over, each plant for the first 
day or two you will conserve the moisture and save 
many plants which might otherwise die. Be sure 
that the glass jar does not keep air from getting 
to the plant. 
Tomato plants are very vigorous growers and should 
be pruned severely. When the plants are about two 
or three feet high reduce each to three or four of its 
strongest branches. Be sure that you remove all 
suckers that develop at the leaf joints. 
To keep the tomatoes off of the ground tie the vines 
to supports of some kind. Adjusto Plant Supports are 
admirable for this purpose. You will find them described 
in the back part of this catalog. 
EARLIANA. This is without doubt the earliest bright 
red tomato now in cultivation. The tomatoes are deep 
scarlet and grow closely together in clusters" of five to 
eight. They are of medium size, smooth, and . solid. The 
plants are quite hardy" with rather slender branches, 
bearing an abundance of fine tomatoes. The close dwarf 
habit of growth makes it a very desirable variety where 
not much space can be wasted on a more spreading and 
branching variety. It is especially valuable as it pro- 
duces fruit at the time when the prices are the highest. 
No market gardener should be without it. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
30c; % lb., $1.00; lb., $3.25. ,

ADJUSTO PLANT SUPPORTS 
For Tomatoes 
Nothing like them for keeping Tomatoes off the 
ground. The wire ring is hooked around the tomato 
plant and then moved upwards on the stake as the 
plant grows.
