the earliest of the Crookneck Summer Squashes. Vines are of 
bush habit, larger and more vigorous than Summer Crookneck.

ingly warted surface. Its large size and attractive deep yellow color 
make this variety a favorite with market-gardeners as well as for 
home-garden use. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 24 lb. 45c; lb. $1.35. 
GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK. A new variety similar in 
every respect to the Mammoth Bush Summer Crookneck, but with¬ 
out the curved neck. In sections where this variety of Squash is

advantage of packing 
more closely. Seed comes 
fairly true, although some 
crookneck will appear.

Winter Squash 
DELICIOUS. This is the finest flavored of any of the winter Squashes. 
The meat is so dry and fine-grained that it greatly resembles that 
of a good sweet potato. Delicious does not grow as large as Hub¬ 
bard, usually weighing from 5 to 10 lbs., but is very heavy as the 
orange-colored flesh is so thick that there is but very little seed 
cavity in the center. A splendid winter keeper and one you should 
grow in your garden. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 34 It*. 45c; lb. $1.45.

earlier. They are long keepers and can be held in good condition 
for spring use. The flesh is deep orange, dry, fine-grained and 
richly flavored. Pkg. 10c; oz, 20c; 34 lb. 45c; lb. $1.65. 
Delicious Squash 
Blue Hubbard Squash 
A very popular vegetable with the Italian people, and one that 
is rapidly coming into favor in this country. The fruit grows from 
3 to 5 feet long and has a diameter of 234 to 3 inches its entire length, 
except close to the neck where it is slightly tapering. Skin is an 
attractive clear light green color. When grown as a climber, the fruits 
hang from the vine and are very long and straight; trailing over the 
ground, the Squash are shorter and sometimes curved in form. There 
are several ways this vegetable can be cooked but the most popular 
are, cut in small pieces and creamed, and sliced thin and 
fried like eggplant. This is a most interesting vegetable to 
grow and a delicious one to eat. We urge a trial of it in 
your garden this season. Pkg. 10c; oz. 25c; 34 lb. 75c; 
lb. $2.75.

into cubes, and boil until tender. Very delicious, creamed or fried. 
Italian Vegetable Marrow 
Italian or Vick’s Summer Asparagus. Grows like a summer squash.

long. This is the Vegetable Marrow so largely grown in Europe, 
and its fine qualities as a garden vegetable make it worthy of room 
in your own garden. Try it this year and give it plenty of sheep 
manure and water. Cook and serve same as asparagus. Cut in 
small pieces and creamed, sliced and fried, or used as a salad, 
it is very delicious. Plant in hills in May and every two weeks until

A New High Quality Squash 
TABLE QUEEN or ACORN 
People who have tried this Squash claim its quality superior to 
that of any other. It is a small kind, about the size of a cocoanut, 
thin-skinned, with thick meat, dry and mealy. To cook, cut in half, 
place a lump of butter 
on one half, top with the 
other, and then bake 
whole. Half a Squash 
serves one person. An 
enormous yielder—a few 
hills will supply a good- 
sized family. Try it this 
year—we are sure you 
will like it. Pkg. 10c; oz. 
20c; 34 lb. 55c.
