BANANA SQUASH 
It is probably the finest in quality of all squashes, large in size, a great yielder, a good keeper, 
and in fact is just about right in every way, but unfortunately it makes but very little seed, and for 
that reason the seedsmen seem to have dropped it, and it is practically unknown to the present gen¬ 
eration. It grows to large size, generally over 2 feet long and sometimes over 3 feet. It keeps equal 
£v Hu , bba £,- ls b ? tter quality, more prolific and earlier. It has a tough shell, but not hard like the 
Hubbard. The picture shows its appearance better than I can describe it. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 18 cts.; 
Vi lb., 40 cts.; y 2 lb., 70 cts.; lb., $1.25; 2 lbs., $2.30, postpaid.

eol CONDOM’S 
Chicago Warted Hubbard 
Improved Strain 
The most productive hard shelled win¬ 
ter squash in existence. The best winter 
keeper. Very productive. Early and of a 
beautiful dark green color. A few seed 
sown along the fences, edges of corn 
fields, and in waste lands, make wonder¬ 
ful growth and produce a profitable crop 
where nothing has been produced before. 
Condon’s Improved Strain of Chicago 
Warted Hubbard Squash is unquestion¬ 
ably the very best Winter Squash. The 
vines are vigorous and very productive. 
The fruits are extra large, heavy and 
well warted with extra hard shell which 
makes it such a wonderful keeper. The 
skin is uniformly dark green. The flesh 
is of a bright orange yellow, fine grained, 
thick, dry and richly flavored. This grand 
Squash can be kept in good condition 
until late spring and will retain its 
highly flavored qualities till used. This 
squash is unquestionably the best for 
Market or Home use. Our improved 
strain of Hubbard Squash has about 
reached the height of perfection. Packet, 
10 1 cts,.; ounce, IS cts.; *4 lb., 46 cts.; y 2 
11>., 75 cts.; lb., $1.35; 2 lbs., $2.56, postpaid.

612 Table Queen or “Des Moines” 
A comparatively new variety. Market gardeners 
have found it their best seller. The enthusiasm 
of customers entitles it to the place among 
Squashes accorded to “Golden Bantam” in Sweet 
Corn. Table Queen is just the right size to serve two 
persons. This avoids the waste resulting from the use 
of larger varieties. Does not require over twenty minutes 
for baking or boiling. This Squash is ready before the 
Hubbards and yet stores equally well. The color is dark 
green changing to bright golden after picking and stor¬ 
ing. The meat is dry and mealy. It yields enormously; 
a few hills furnishing an ample supply for a good sized 
family. Makes wonderful pies. Packet, 16 cts.; oz., IS cts.; 
*4 lb., 46 cts.; V- 2 . lb., 75 cts*; lb., $1.46; 2 lbs., $2.76, postpaid.
