Mammoth White 
^Bush Scallop 
Many seedsmen have listed Mammoth White 
Bush Scallop Squash, but until we sent out our 
stock in 1895,there was no uniformly large clear 
white scalloped squash in trade. The fruit is a 
beautiful clear waxy-white instead of 
the yellowish-white so often seen in the 
old Early White Bush Scallop and is 
superior to that variety in every re¬ 
spect. The best of the scalloped 
squashes, Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 16c;

Early Y e ^ OWiaa 
Qush Scallop 
A mammoth, very early, flat, scallop 
shaped variety ; color yellow ; flesh pale 
yellow and well flavored; very produc¬ 
tive; used when young and tender. We 
have developed a st rain of the old Yellow 
Bush Scallop which is uniformly larger 
and flatter than the old stock and has a 
very small seed cavity. Its superiority 
is so great that we should be justified 
by prevailing custom in renaming it.

Market. Of oval form; skin thin, when ripe, bright orange

not as dry as the Hubbard. We have an unusually good stock 
of this sort. l’kt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; \ Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c. 
■ This is a superior variety 
^ and one of the best of win¬ 
ter squashes; flesh bright orange 
yellow, fine grained,very dry, sweet 
and rich flavored; keeps perfectly 
good throughout the winter; boils 
or bakes exceedingly dry aud is es¬ 
teemed by many to be as good 
baked as the sweet potato. Our 
stock is most carefully selected 
with regard to quality of the flesh 
and color and wartiness of the shell 
but the latter peculiarities are 
largely determined by the soils in 
which the squashes are raised. Our 
customers can plant this variety in perfect 
confidence that everj' fruit will be a pure 
Hubbard. I’kt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c;

GOLDEN HUBBARD 
This is a True Hubbard Squash except in 
Color which is Bright Red. 
The vine is a vigorous but not rampant grower and won¬ 
derfully productive, expending the energy derived from lib¬ 
eral fertilizing in the production of an increased number 
rather than of overgrown and coarse fruits as some varieties 
are apt to do. It ripens its crop very early and uniformly, thus 
making it a certain cropper. The fruits are very uniform in 
size, weighing from six to eight pounds, and in shape are like 
the Hubbard. Though maturing early they are wonderfully 
long keepers so they can be held over in good condition for 
spring use. The shell is warty, hard and strong and a very 
beautiful orange red color except for a bit of olive green on 
the blossom end. The flesh is a deep orange and uniformly so 
to the rind, never having the green tinge so objectionable in the 
older sort. It cooks very dry, fine grained and good flavored. 
We believe this is the best fall and winter sort yet intro¬ 
duced and that it deserves to and will become a most popular 
variety. It certainly has no superior ns a table squash.

Hubbard Squash. 
Early Prolific Orange Marrow 
A variety developed by selection from the Boston Marrow, and 
not so large but much earlier, and the earliest of the winter 
varieties. Fruit deep orange color netted with cream; shape 
similar to Boston Marrow; flesh thick, deep yellow, of fine 
quality. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; h Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c. 
Hard Shelled Marrow ... 
A New Variety, giving the Largest Yield per Acre. 
The Best Sort for Pies and for Canning or Drying. 
We have been at work on this variety for several years and 
now have it so well fixed that it comes true to type. The 
fruit is very large, oval, deep orange red color, and though 
quite smooth has as hard a shell as the Hubbard. The flesh is 
very thick, rich orange red color and has no equal for making 
pies, having a peculiar flavor and quality similar to, but much 
firmer than tlmt of the choicest Pumpkin Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c*
