The Famous American Standard Winter Squash 
The Grand Old Favorite—This is a superior selection of this 
famous variety and one of the best winter Squashes ; flesh bright 
orange yellow, fine grained, very dry, sweet and rich flavored; 
keeps perfectly good throughout the winter; boils or bakes ex¬ 
ceedingly dry and is esteemed by many to be as good baked as 
a 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. Pkt. 8 c; oz. 17c; 2 oz. 28c;

and bright color, fine grained, free from stringiness, dry and 
sweet and of the finest flavor. Unequalled for baking and also 
makes delicious pies. Owing to the hard shell, this new squash 
will keep perfectly all winter. If you want the best, try New

Mrs. Wm. A. Sellner, Elgin, North Dakota.— 
I have been ordering seeds from your house 
for the last 7 or 8 years and I don’t use any 
other seeds. They don’t give the results that 
your seeds do.
