FilXAN had an immense sale since its introduction a few years ago and is coi 
■ n^wll* sidered one of the best sorts that can be grown. The originator says; *'T1 
_ e squashes vary in color, some of them being pale yellow with still paler yellow stripes i 
oUows. while others are green, mottled, and faintly striped lighter. The flesh is a deep oranf 
yellow, cavity very small, and seeds few; the special peculiarity, however, is that whi 
uncooked it appears to have a shell like any squash, when cooked there is practically non 
the shell or inedible part being only about as thick as a sheet of writing paper. It is tl 
best squash we ever tasted, being sweet and very dry, and for squash pies it must be apprec 
ated. It is the best winter variety we kiiow of, being a very late keeper." Pkt. 5'
