SQUASH -AUTUMN AND WINTER 
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

Hubbard 
Delicious 
One of the best of the winter sauashes. The 
vines are vigorous and very productive. The 
fruits are large, heavy and moderately warted, with a very 
hard shell. The skin is uniformly dark bronze green. The 
fiesh is bright orange-yellow, fine grained, thick, dry and 
richly flavored. This squash can be kept in good condition 
until spring. It is esteemed by many to be as good baked as 
the sweet potato. Our 
stock of this standard 
home garden and 
market variety is care¬ 
fully selected 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¬

I • • The increasing demand for this 
UCllClOUS squash shows conclusively that 
its high quality is more generally known and 
appreciated. Many prefer it to Hubbard, so 
long regarded as the standard of excellence. 
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 with¬ 
out any hard shell. The flesh is thick, 
very line grained and bright yellow in color. 
It is considered by many to be the best for 
markets where quality is appreciated as 
well as very desirable for the home garden. 
We have by continued and careful selec¬ 
tion made a marked improvement in uni¬ 
formity of type and we believe the seed 
we olYer is equal to the best obtainable.
