Don Gurney with a Buttercup Squash 
For years I have said Table Queen was the 
best individual squash grown, and I still believe 
that is so. But if you want a squash just the 
right size for two people, Professor Yeager's 
New Buttercup squash is the one to plant. I be¬ 
lieve the Buttercup squash is the best quality of 
any squash on the market today.—Don Gurney. 
Buttercup 
A cross between Essex Hybrid and Quality 
developed by Professor A. F. Yeager of the North 
Dakota Experiment Station. The squashes 
weigh between 3 and 5 pounds with thin, tough 
green skin. There is no fibrous section and the 
deep, rich orange flesh is ur.tinged with green. It 
is a good keeper with less waste and shrinkage in

True Hubbard 
This is the well known winter squash of which a larger acreage is produced 
than any other variety, and the best known of all squash. Fruit large, olive 
shaped, with skin varying from light to very dark green. Skin more or less 
warted, hard. Flesh, rich yellow. A good shipper and keeper. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c;

Gurney’s Table Queen Squash 
Gurney’s Table Queen 
For many years it was quite an event to 
have squash on the table, and I wonder if 
you really know the reason why. Not be¬ 
cause it was hard to prepare but because it 
was hard to get enough people at one table 
to eat one squash. Gurney’s Table Queen 
Squash is an individual squash, equally as 
good quality as any other, and just enough 
for one person. I have seen as high as 200 
squash on one vine; they are dark green in 
color, and are more or less pear shaped ap¬ 
proximately 5 inches in diameter and 7 or 
8 inches long. The flesh is of golden yellow, and 
the squash is an excellent keeper. A few vines 
of this Table Queen Squash will furnish enough 
squash for the entire family for the whole winter. 
Pkt., 6c; oz., 13c; |/ 4 lb., 35c; 1 lb., $1.00; 
5 lbs., $4.25. 
Banana 
Thick fleshed, fine grained and sweet. This is 
the heaviest yielding of all squashes, producing 
8 to 10 squash on a vine, which often grow 3 feet 
long and 6 to 8 inches in diameter. It has a tough 
shell which is grayish green in color. The beauti¬ 
ful, orange-yellow flesh is firm and solid, always 
free from fiber and stringiness. It cooks smooth 
and has a delicious sweet flavor. The fruits are 
shaped like bananas. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; y 4 lb., 
30c; 1 lb., 80c; 5 lbs., $3.50. 
cooking than any other squash we have tried. 
The flavor is pleasant and very like that of a 
sweet potato, very sweet; the texture smooth 
and comparatively dry. This is the best squash 
we have ever tasted. Pkt., 8c; oz., 25c; 14 lb., 
60c; 1 lb., $1.65. 
Delicious 
It has been out now years enough so that we 
can honestly say that it is better than any other 
winter squash as far as quality is concerned. It 
is not so large as the Hubbard, will not yield as 
many pounds per acre, will keep equally as good, 
but that one point, exquisite quality, entitles it 
to a place in the garden or on the farm of every 
person. 
This squash weighs about eight to ten pounds; 
the color almost uniformly of a green shade. 
When baked it will separate from the shell of its 
own weight. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; (4 lb., 40c; 
1 lb., $1.15; 5 lbs., $4.85. 
Giant Bush 
Summer Crookneck 
Largest of the Golden Crooknecks. 55 days 
One of the best of the summer squashes. 
It is of dwarf, bushy habit and very productive, 
maturing in 55 days. The skin is yellow. Flesh 
deep golden yellow, tender, dry' and of agree¬ 
able flavor. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 'A lb., 25c; 
1 lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $2.00.
