it will give you a delicious meal 
you long remember—and if you like 
pie, try one made from Acorn Squash. 
You will be pleased not only with the 
quality of this Squash, but you will 
get so many from each seed planted, 
the vines being so vigorous and produc¬ 
tive. The fruits are a nice size to 
handle, 6 to 7 inches long and 4 to 5 
Inches in diameter. The meat is ex¬ 
ceptionally dry and mealy and of a fine 
flavor. The shell is thin, but hard and 
smooth, and they keep as well as the 
Hubbard, although they ripen earlier. 
The color is dark green, almost black, 
with sometimes a blotch of red at 
pointed end. This fine Squash has rap¬ 
idly come into favor in many markets, 
'‘being preferred to the large sorts— 
while for the home market' it is ideal.

times striped with green. Flesh is fine grained and 
very dry. Fine when cooked like sweet potatoes, and 
nothing superior for making pies and custards. Ma¬

perfectly sound until late in the spring. Pkt. 10c—

WITLOOF CHICORY 
Like its name, this curious 
cucumber resembles nothing 
so much as a long, green 
snake. It is often 6 feet in 
length and is a distinct nov¬ 
elty variety. Seed should be 
planted early to obtain best 
results. Excellent for pick¬ 
ling and slicing. 
Pkt. 10c—3 Pkts. 35c. 
Witloof is a delicious 
winter vegetable. It 
makes one of the finest 
of all salads, is very 
fine served with French 
dressing and eaten like 
lettuce and is also ex¬ 
cellent boiled. Plant 
seed in May or June in 
open ground, and in 
fall dig roots, cutting 
off leaves, and store in 
soil in a cool place 
until wanted for forc¬ 
ing. About a month be¬ 
fore wanted the roots 
should be planted in 
boxes of earth, in cool, 
dark place in cellar. If 
not' grown in a dark place it 
should be banked up like 
celery, as it is the blanched 
stalks that are used. Coming 
as it does in the middle of 
the winter, it is bound to be¬ 
come popular as it becomes 
better known. Pkt. 10c—
