HICAGO WARTED HUBBARD 
PIKE’S PEAK OR SIBLEY. A very vigorou; 
and productive old standard variety. The fruits 
are large, oval in shape, the blossom end taper¬ 
ing. The color outside is dark green and inside 
the flesh is light yellow and of superior quality

white scalloped squash in existence. It grows to 
a large size, and in quality it is simply delicious 
CHICAGO WARTED HUBBARD. A new, very 
large strain of the old Hubbard, retaining all of 
its good features with the added merits of larger 
size, increased productiveness, and a hard, green, 
warty shell, rendering it the best keeper of all 
IMPROVED HUBBARD. An old favorite, still 
retaining its place as one of the best winter 
squashes; vines luxuriant, healthy and very pro¬ 
ductive; fruits dark, bluish green, 10 to 25 lbs 
each; flesh rich yellow, always richly flavored, 
sweet and dry, whether boiled, steamed or baked; 
good keeper. 
RED OR GOLDEN HUBBARD. A perfect type 
of the Green Hubbard, except m color, which is 
a bright, deep orange-yellow, very showy and at¬ 
tractive. Flesh deep golden yellow, much richer 
in color than Hubbard, fine grained, cooks very 
dry, and is of excellent flavor. Its keeping qual¬ 
ities are fully equal to, while in productiveness 
It far excells the Green variety.

earliest winter squashes, a good yielder, an excel¬ 
lent keeper and of the best quality. Bug and borer 
proof. Acorn shaped, dark green shell and deli¬ 
cious flavored meat.

DELICATA. Orange-yellow, splashed ana 
striped with very dark green. The quality is rich

ate use particularly we can recommend this 
squash, as it far surpasses in richness of flavor 
any of the large sorts. 
MAMMOTH CHILI. A very large growing 
squash, often attaining the enormous weight of 
250 pounds. Excellent for culinary purposes, and 
especially desirable for stock. 
ITALIAN (Cocozelle di Napoli). Vines produce 
large, much elongated fruits, dark green at first 
but as they mature becoming marbled with yel¬ 
low and lighter green in stripes. F’ruits in best 
condition for the table when six to eight inches 
long, but can be used when much larger. The 
young and tender fruits when sliced and fried in 
oil constitute a vegetable delicacy very popular, 
especially in Naples.
