SQUASH 
Plant 1 Oz. for 20 Hills; SVi Lbs. per Acre 
NFORTUNATELY this vegetable is greatly neglectedlby the majority 
of farmers, as it adds greatly to the winter vegetables. It is easily 
grown, yields abundantly and is a most satisfactory vegetable. 
Many stock growers plant an acre or more of the summer Squash. It 
yields immensely and makes an excellent summer and fall feed for milch 
cows. 
Giant Bush 
Summer Crookneck 
Largest of the Golden Crooknecks. 55 days 
One of the best of the summer squashes. 
It is of dwarf, bushy habit and very productive, 
maturing in 55 days. The skin is yellow. Flesh 
deep golden yellow, tender, dry and of agree¬ 
able flavor. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi lb., 25c; 
1 lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $2.90. 
Gurney’s Table Queen 
For many years it was quite an event to 
have squash on the table, and I wonder if 
you really know the reason why. Not be¬ 
cause it was hard to prepare but because it 
was hard to get enough people at one table 
to eat one squasli. Gurney’s Table Queen 
Squash is an individual squash, equally as 
good quality as any other, and just enough 
for one person. I have seen as high as 200 
squash on one vine; they are dark green in 
color, and are more or less pear shaped ap¬ 
proximately 5 inches in diameter and 7 or 
8 inches long. The flesh is of golden yellow, and 
the squash is an excellent keeper. A few vines 
of this Table Queen Squash will furnish enough 
squash for the entire familyfor the wholewinter. 
Pkt., 7c; oz., 13c; V4 lb., 30c; 1 lb., 75c; 
5 lbs., $3.25. 
True Hubbard 
This is the well known winter squash of which a larger acreage is pro¬ 
duced than any other variety, and the best known of all squash. Fruit 
large, olive shaped, with skin varying from light to very dark green. Skin 
more or less warted, hard. Flesh, rich yellow. A good shipper and keeper. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 1/4 lb., 30c; 1 lb., 85c; 5 lbs., $3.50. 
Delicious Squash —It has been out now years enough so that we can 
honestly say that it is better than any other winter squasli as far as 
quality is concerned. It is not so large as the Hubbard, will not yield as 
many pounds per acre, will keep equally as good, but that one point, exquisite 
quality, entitles it to a place in the garden or on the farm of every person. 
This squash weighs about eight to ten pounds; the color almost uni¬ 
formly of a green shade. When baked it will separate from the shell of its 
own weight. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; Vi lb., 30c; 1 lb., 85c; 5 lbs., $3.50. 
Hubbard Kitchenette —A small strain of Improved Hubbard, per¬ 
haps two-thirds as 1 arge. It has merit in that most Hubbards are too 
large for an average family, and often a portion goes to waste, whereas 
with the Kitchenette the size should increase its use. Edible in 110 days. 
Size, 9x6 inches. Weight, 5 pounds. Pkt., .5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb-> 1 lb., 
90c; 5 lbs., $3.60.
