CHICAGO WARTED HUBBARD 
In growing the original green Hubbard on a large scale 
for market, it was found tlie largest, heaviest, dark, 
rough-skinned specimens were the most valuable, and 
most salable. Because of this fact, selection of such 
fruits were made and the result is our selection of Chi- 
cago Warted Hubbard Squash. This strain is the ideal 
winter squash for the home garden. Vines have a strong, 
robust growth; fruits are large, of hajidsome shape, 
heavily warted and of a dark green color, flesh is rich and 
dry. of exceptionally fine quality. Packet, 4 cents; oiwice, 
8 cents; !4 pound, 22 cents; Yx pound, 40 cents; pound, 75

very good flavor. We have developed a strain of the old 
Yellow Bush Scallop which is fully as productive but

very small seed cavity. Its superiority is so great that 
we would be justified by prevailing custom in renaming it.
