NEW BUTTERCUP. A squash from 
North Dakota that is gaining rap¬ 
idly in favor wherever it becomes 
known. It is a small squash of 
the Turk’s Turban type weighing 
3 to 4 pounds. We have tried it 
out in our own garden and think 
it even finer flavor than the Deli¬ 
cious. It is dry, sweet, but not 
too sweet, and of a wonderful 
flavor besides. One average squash 
is about large enough to serve for 
4 persons. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c.
