BUEBANK'S 1921 NEW CHEAT IONS IN SEEDS 
Fordhook Squash 
states by starting the plants early in pots or boxes in a warm place and trans- 
planting to a good deep rich soil early in the Spring. The best plants can then be 
kept in the cellar for making offsets for the next Spring planting for a crop. 
Hubbard Sauash When the Hubbard Squash was first introduced it was as 
wkratvi Kjt^uooA g^gg^ ^ good sweet potato, but it has been allowed to run 
wholesale mongrel until it has lost much of this peculiar quality. The New Sweet 
Hubbard is uniformly as sweet as the original when first introduced fifty-six years 
ago. Productive and uniform. Packet, 15c; ounce, 30c; i/4-lb., 90c. 
Ashley, Mont. — Your squash, tomatoes, sunberries, cucumbers, and chard do much better here 
than any I have raised before. V. L. 
Elmhurst, Cal. — The Hubbard Squash you sent me last Summer certainly turned out tine, and 
also the White Sunflower seed. My chickens just seem to eat tliis seed in preference to anything 
else. I will plant considerable this coming spring. J. B. W. 
Very much like the Hubbard in quality. A long, oval, pale 
green squash. One of the best of keepers. Packet, 10c; 
ounce, 25c; %-lb., 75c; pound, $2.50. 
ICale ^ beautiful, moss-curled va- 
riety. Packet, 10c; ounce, 
20c; pound, $2. 
A New Asparagus — "Quality" 
If any more delicious vegetable 
than crisp, well grown asparagus 
has been invented, tell us about it. 
And yet people who buy it in the 
markets seldom, if ever, get the best 
in its best condition. If you possess 
half a square rod of ground almost 
anywhere under the sun, you can 
produce a daily supply of this most 
healthful vegetable for a family for 
several months at so little care and 
expense that you will have good 
reason to laugh. Thoroughly ferti- 
lize the space allotted, spade deeply, 
add more fertilizer and spade again, 
making the soil rich, deep, and fine. 
The bed should be a little raised 
above the paths when finished. 
Plant the young plants four inches 
under the surface, placing them 
eighteen inches to two feet apart. 
Do not cut the stalks the first season 
if you desire best results for the 
next fifty years, during which with 
very little care, never-failing crops 
will be produced. Many years ago 
I produced and introduced a new 
large, white asparagus, which ex- 
celled in flavor all others known. 
In the passing years since, even this 
has been greatly improved and I 
now for the first time offer this, 
the best asparagus ever grown. 
"Quality" produces very large, 
sweet, light-colored stalks which 
will be a delight to all who grow or 
use it. You will find that it is "not 
like other asparagus." 
Packet, 25c; ounce, $1.50. 
East San Pedro, Cai.., June 17, 1920. — Everything bought from you has proved very satisfactory, 
particularly the asparagus and artichoke plants, which are already nearly twice the size of 
ordinary kinds. F. S. 
The new "Capital" Cucumber is 
exactly like "Iceland" in every re- 
spect except color, which is bright green. Packet, 15c; three, 30c; ounce, 60c. 
MOSS-CURLED KALE. 
A New Hybrid Cucumber — "Capital" 
Past Edington, Maine. — I never saw such delectable cucumbers as I raised from your seeds.
