SQUASH AND PUMPKIN 
While surpluses have been piling up for 
cucumber and muskmelon seeds, squash and 
pumpkin have continued in relatively small sup¬ 
ply. This has been mostly due to the grief 
these crops have been suffering from hail, 
squash bugs, borers and losses by reason of 
early freezes. I am now growing these in com¬ 
paratively virgin territory not as yet being 
bothered by insects, nor hail, and I am taking 
care of the early freezing menace with artifi- 
cial dryers. I am convinced I am offering ex¬ 
ceptional service in these, and believe my prices 
y. . ^ 
will be found attractive.

• I call your attention to the listing of Deli- 
cata, Buttercup-" and Gill’s Golden Delicious 
squashes. These are three small squashes of the 
very highest quality and attractive appearance. 
The American markets are not handling near 
the amount of squash that they should, due to 
the fact that few families like to buy as much 
squa§h at one time as is necessary when they 
buy a good, quality Hubbard. In these three and 
the Table Queen is found the answer to this 
problem and the seedman who will push these 
will find his squash volume increasing. If you 
are not familiar with these I will be glad to send 
you either specimens or seed for your trial 
grounds and no obligation will be incurred. 
Cocozelle is becoming one of the most gen¬ 
erally used of all squashes. I have several dif¬ 
ferent stocks of this good squash and if you 
know the kind your trade wants I can fit you 
out with just the right type. There is about as 
many strains of this as there is of the Rocky 
Ford cantaloupe but unfortunately they have not 
been as thoroughly named and numbered.
