SQUASH AND TOMATO 
RED OR “GOLDEN” HUBBARD 
This is identical in size, form and fruitfulness with the Chicago Warted Hubbard, 
the chief distinction being that the heavily warted skin is of a rich orange-yellow, turn¬ 
ing to a deep salmon-red when ripened. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 35c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
MAMMOTH CHILI 
Weight up to 100 lbs. Immensely Profitable. Very Productive. 
Attain an enormous size, often reaching a weight of 75 pounds, and not frequently 
weighs 100 pounds. Despite its size, its flesh is rich and fine flavored. It is especially 
desirable for stock feeding and exhibition purposes. From the illustration you will 
note its uniformly large size. For feeding cows it is best to cut them up, mixing with 
ground feed. As the yield an acre will run from 8 to 15 tons, it will thus produce a 
very cheap and nutritious feed. In feeding to swine all that is necessary is to break 
the Squashes open and the swine will help themselves. Mammoth Chili Squashes carry 
off the prize at nearly every show where they are exhibited. Post paid, pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 
Vi lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.35.

TOMATOES 
The newest types of hardy, prolific tomatoes are better adapted to the cool coast 
climate than the older sorts; and splendid crops are now being grown where heretofore 
it was thought tomatoes would not thrive. A good plan is to try several varieties and 
find which is best suited to your special conditions. 
CULTURE—Sow early in hotbeds, and as soon as they have four leaves transplant 
them into shallow boxes. Harden off, and set out as soon as danger of frost is past. 
An ounce of seed will produce 3,000 to 4,000 plants. 
If blight appears use “Bordeau,” but it is better to use a preventive before blight 
strikes the plant, and as a control measure for flea beetles spray under side of foliage. 
CHALK’S EARLY JEWELL 
The largest, smoothest and fine flavored, 
extra early, bright red tomato. About ten 
days later than Spark’s Earliana. It is a 
heavier cropper, with tomatoes of larger 
size and sweeter flavor, produced through¬ 
out the season. Flesh is thick, solid, of 
fine flavor, with few seeds; the skin is 
strong enough to make it a good shipping 
variety. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 35c; Vi lb. 
$1.00; 1 lb. $3.50. 
DWARF STONE 
Dwarf and compact in habit; sold by 
some seedsmen as the Tree Tomato. Stands 
up well, even when loaded with fruit, 
having a stiff, bushy stem; can be planted 
close together; very desirable in small 
gardens; early. It is always smooth and 
attractive; the skin is tough and flesh 
solid, but has no hard core, and is of good 
flavor. Postpaid, pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; Vi lb.
