CULTURE—Plant when the ground is warm in hills 12 
to 15 feet each way. For the large seeded varieties, figure 
about 25 hills to the ounce of seed and for the small seed¬ 
ed varieties, about 50 hills to the ounce. 
736—BANANA. A foot and a half to 2 feet long and 5 or 
6 inches thick. Skin slate gray, with orange flesh. Easy 
to peel. Extra good quality. A fine nutty flavor. Flesh 
smooth, fine grained and sweet. A winter squash. Keeps 
fairly well. Not as susceptible to stem borers and insects 
as some other varieties. 
740—DELICIOUS. Ranks among the best in quality. 
Thick, firm, orange flesh. A winter keeper. Medium size. 
741—DELICATA or SWEET POTATO. One of the ear¬ 
liest baking squashes I know of. Very attractive green 
and yellow stripes. Sells on its looks. Eight or ten 
inches long by 4 inches thick. Just the right size to cut 
in halves and bake. Has an unusually good flavor. Some¬ 
times a little coarse. Sets a heavy crop. 
747—EARLY WHITE BUSH SCALLOP. Use them when 
2 inches across and on up to half grown while they are 
tender. Cook them like you do egg plant. Some would 
rather have fried squash than fried fish. Flat and scal¬ 
loped around the edges. 
743—FORDHOOK. A good little baking squash. About 
as big and shaped like a large ripe cucumber. Early and 
prolific. Will keep until spring if you take care of them. 
745 — GENU- 
I N E HUB¬ 
BARD. One of 
the finest var¬ 
ieties for about 
T h anksgivi n g 
time, or all win¬ 
ter for that mat¬ 
ter. They store 
well. Often keep 
until late spring. 
Very large, 
warty, dark 
green and a 
hard shell. Flesh 
orange - yellow, 
crisp thick dry 
and sweet. Its GENUINE HUBBARD 
still the most popular squash. 
746—GIANT STRAIGHTNECK. An improvement on 
the Summer Bush Crookneck. A golden yellow covered 
with warts and bumps. Should be used while green. 
739—GREEN STRIPED CUSHAW. A large crookneck 
pumpkin of good quality. The neck is the best part and 
usually solid meat. There is a white and yellow Cushaw 
but this is the best. 
753—KITCHENETTE HUBBARD. An inbred strain of 
Genuine Hubbard. It is the same in appearance, quality, 
keeping and yield and only about half as large. This is 
an advantage in selling and for home use. The average 
family can use an entire squash without some cut and 
left over. Flesh crisp, dry and sweet. 
750—SIBLEY or PIKE’S PEAK. A fine little gray 
squash shaped like a Hubbard. Soft shell. Good quality 
and keeps well. 
752 — TABLE 
QUEEN. About as 
large as a quart cup 
and shaped like an 
acorn. Just large 
enough to make a 
clever individual 
serving. Early 
enough so that you 
can eat off them 
several weeks before 
frost. Then store 
them. They keep 
well. They will yield more squash to the square rod than 
most any other variety. Fine quality. 
742—COCOZELLE. Use when 4 to 6 inches long while 
green and tender. Cook like summer squash. Sometimes 
called “Summer Asparagus.” 
751—SUMMER BUSH CROOKNECK. An early summer 
TABLE QUEEN 
squash. Use while young and tender. Color a deep yellow. 
Covered with small bumps. 
SALSIFY OR VEGETABLE OYSTER 
208—MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. Long slen¬ 
der roots. Flesh white and very tender after freezing. 
Plant on rich ground and thin to 4 or 5 inches apart and 
you will grow big roots. One of the best vegetables for 
soups as well as a number of other dishes. Should be 
frozen, like parsnips, before using.

SWEET CORN

189— COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. Zig Zag rows with 
long slender grains. Ears just the right size for eating 
off the cob. Very tender and sweet. Grains have a 
tender hull. For years, this variety has had a fine 
reputation for quality. 
180— EARLY CHAMPION. This 
will follow your early corn. With it 
to fill in you won’t have so long to 
wait for your late roasting ears. 
Twelve to 16 rowed ears. Not very 
deep grains but good quality. 
181— EARLY EVERGREEN. Hard 
to say just where it belongs as to 
earliness. Earlier than a late but 
later than an intermediate. Good 
quality. Deep grains and a medium 
sized ear. 
183 — EARLY MAYFLOWER. A 
good tasty, early sweet corn. Three 
or four days later than Golden Ban¬ 
tam but a larger ear. White and 10 
to 12 rows. Often 2 ears to the stalk.

173—HYBRID GOLDEN BANTAM. 
A scientific cross of 2 in-bred strains 
of Golden Bantam. Our “Mule Corn’’ 
is from the same kind of a cross. 
This Hybrid Golden Bantam is 10 
days earlier than the original. The 
ears are as large and much more uni¬ 
form. All is ready to pull at prac¬ 
tically the same time. This is just 
what the market gardener likes. 
There are no nubbins or barren 
stalks. And quality! Well, you know 
the Golden Bantam quality and this 
is fully as good or even goes it one 
better.
