Mammoth €hiH Squash. 
This is probably the largest and most productive of all the - 
mammoth squashes. We have grown it as a held crop for 
two seasons, and the enormous size-and number of squashes 
produced has excited the wonder of all who have seen them. 
Many of them weigh from one to two hundred lbs., and 
some go still higher. At the Fairs where wc have shown 
them they have attracted more attention than any other one
