Delicious Squash 
A Choice, Early Winter Variety ; 
Exceptionally Fine in Flavor; 
Flesh Extra Thick. 
Description . — We are convinced that this Squash 
is particularly excellent in quality and in that res- 
pect is by some preferred even to the Hubbard. It 
is a very early winter variety of medium size ; shell 
moderately hard but very thin ; flesh thick, fine 
grained and bright yellow in color. Even when 
immature this squash is of very fine flavor and in 
condition for use.

Mammoth Summer Crookneck Squash JK 
in 1888, it was found that quite a proportion of the vitles made runners. By a vigorous weeding out 
of these it has become the best summer squash in existence. It is thrice as large as the ordinary 
Summer Crook Neck, far more warty and several days earlier. Color, bright yellow.

Mammoth White Bush Scallop se ^ ds a m n e * 
have listed Mammoth White Bush Scallop squash but until we 
set out our stock in 1895, there was no uniformly large, clear 
white, scalloped squash in trade. The fruit is a beautiful, clear 
waxy white, instead of the yellowish white so often seen in the 
old Early White Bush Scallop and is superior to that variety in 
size and beauty. The handsomest of the scalloped squashes. 
TOBACCO 
Tobacco is an annual plant and although It 
grows to greater size in the south, an equally 
good quality can be produced in the hot, 
dry summers of the north. ' We have taken 
a great deal of pains to ascertain which are 
the best varieties for the general planter, and believe the list we offer contains all that are of special merit. 
CULTURE The seed should be sown as early as possible after danger of frost is over. A good 
plan is to burn a quantity of brush and rubbish in the spring, on the ground intended 
for the seed bed, then dig and thoroughly pulverize the earth and mix with the ashes, after which the seed 
may be sown and covered very lightly. When the plants are about six inches high transplant into rows 
four or five feet apart each way, and cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.

more hardy and endures the cold better than the tender varieties grown south. In many of the Northern States and in Canada, this 
variety is the staple crop.

extensively used for cigar wrappers. 
$311.75 FROM ONE POUND 
C. E. Ackerman writes us as follows: 
“Henry Blood bought one pound of our Danish Ball Head 
Cabbage Seed, set three acres of Cabbage therefrom, from which 
he sold $300.00 worth of Cabbage, besides selling $11.75 worth 
of plants and had a lot of plants left. 
Mr. King, one of the largest Cabbage buyers in the state 
of Wisconsin came here this Fall and went to Mr. Dukesberry 
•nd bought his crop of Danish Ball Head Cabbage grown from 
our seed. He said that was the kind of Cabbage he wanted to 
buy and asked who else was growing Cabbage from the same 
kind of seed. Mr. Dukesberry told him the man who sold the 
seed lived right there. He came down to see me and got the 
names of the parties and went around and bought over three 
thousand tons of Cabbage grown from our seed, passing by 
Cabbage grown from other seed as not being what he wanted. 
Chas. and Fred Israel, who are extensive Cabbage growers 
in this section and have been growing Cabbage for many years 
say the seed bought from you is the best they have ever had.”
