SQUASH —AUTUMN AND WINTER 
F 
Delicious 
U || j One of the best of the winter squashes. Vines 
Hubbard vigorous and very productive. Fruit large, 
heavy, moderately warted, with very hard shell. Skin uni¬ 
formly dark bronze green. Flesh bright orange-yellow, fine 
grained, thick, dry and richly flavored. Can be kept in good 
condition until spring. 
It is esteemed by many 
to be as good baked as 
the sweet potato. Our 
stock is carefully se¬ 
lected in regard to 
quality of the flesh and 
color of the shell and 
is much superior to 
that sold as Chicago 
Warted or Warty Hub¬ 
bard. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c;

r\ |* • We are convinced that this 
LyCllClOUS squash is particularly excellent 
in quality and in that respect it is now by 
many considered even better than the Hub¬ 
bard* which has been so long looked upon as 
the standard. Delicious is a fall and winter 
variety of medium size. The fruits are 
moderately hard, usually dark green but 
sometimes lighter in color and mottled, and 
are without any hard shell. The flesh is 
thick, very fine grained and bright yellow in 
color. Even when somewhat immature this 
squash is in condition for use and of finest 
flavor. Although when first introduced a 
little uneven in shape and exterior color, we 
have by continued and careful selection made 
a marked improvement in uniformity of type 
and we belie\e the seed we otTer is equal to 
the best obtainable. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;

ry . «m This is a very product- 
rSoston Marrow ive fall and winter va¬ 
riety of medium to large size, oval shape, 
and thin skin. The fruits when ripe are 
bright orange with a shading of light cream 
color. The flesh is of rich salmon yellow 
color, fine grained and of excellent flavor, 
but not as dry as the Hubbard. Pkt. 5c; 
Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c; Vi Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00 
The vines of this va¬ 
riety are vigorous 
and very productive. The fruits are of me¬ 
dium size, weighing from six to eight pounds 
and in shape are like the Hubbard, although 
in condition for use decidedly earlier. They 
are wonderfully long keepers and can be 
held over in good condition for spring use. 
The shell is moderately warted, hard, strong 
and of a beautiful orange-red color, except for a bit of olive- 
green on blossom end. The flesh is deep orange, dry, fine 
grained and richly flavored. We believe this to be a very 
superior table variety. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c;

Golden Hubbard 
TOBACCO 
The seed should be 
sown as early as possible 
after danger of frost is 
over. It is customary to 
burn a quantity of brush 
and rubbish in the spring 
on the ground intended 
for the seed bed; then 
dig and pulverize the 
earth and mix with the 
ashes, after which the 
seed may be sown and 
covered ' very lightly. 
When the plants are 
about six inches high, 
transplant into rows 
four or five feet apart 
each way. Cultivate 
thoroughly with plow 
and hoe.
