WINTER VARIETIES 
Mammoth Chili 
An extra large variety used mostly for stock feeding. 
Very beautiful in appearance often weighing 75 pounds 
each. The yield will run from 8 to 10 tons per acre, pro¬ 
ducing a very cheap and nutritious feed. 
Banana Squash 
One of the best varieties for either summer or winter 
use. Shell is grayish-green and the flesh is a deep 
golden color. Cooks smooth and of a delicious flavor. 
Fruits measure 20 to 30 inches long, 7 to 12 inches thick. 
Blue Hubbard 
A strain of the regular Hubbard. Fruit is large, blue- 
gray shell, long keeping and finest quality. A very popu¬ 
lar variety on some of the eastern markets and becom¬ 
ing of increasing importance on the Twin City markets. 
Sweet Potato Squash 
Fruits grow 6 to 8 inches long. Has very thick flesh, 
unusually sweet and tender. They are a real table 
delicacy when baked and served with butter. 
Buttercup 
A new introduction by Prof. Yeager of North Dakota. 
It is medium to small in size, the flesh is very thick and 
the flavor delicious. The shape is somewhat of a turban 
with a tendency to being- flat. Seed cavity is very small. 
Turban 
This is somewhat of a novelty. It is turban shape, and 
the color varies from green and yellow to dark red. This 
can be shellacked and used as an ornamental Gourd. 
Gould’s Improved Hubbard* 
This Squash is the favorite for long keeping. The vines 
are strong and very productive. The skin is rather 
smooth, of a dark, green color. When well matured and 
dried, it becomes very hard and will keep well into the 
winter. Flesh is bright orange yellow, fine grained, dry, 
sweet flavored. 
Chicago Warted Hubbard* 
Very similar to Gould’s Hubbard, but skin is darker 
and covered with heavy warts. Also a good keeper.
