Improved Hubbard — 
This is acknowledged the very 
bestSquash in cultivation and 
is planted by more people 
than all other varieties put 
together. It is a favorite in 
nearly all eastern markets; in 
fact there is always a ready 
market everywhere for this 
favorite sort, and we have the 
choicest type of Hubbard 
Squash grown. The flesh is of 
a rich orange or yellow color, 
is very fine grained, solid; 
dry and sweet. The rind or 
shell is very hard and tough, 
making it an excellent keep¬ 
er. The color varies some¬ 
what, being sometimes green 
and sometimes orange or red¬ 
dish when matured, but the

similar to the Cocozelleex- 
cept it only grows to half 
the size and never exceeds 
8 inches in length. When 
stewed it is as delicious as 
the Marrow Squash, and 
when fried as Egg Plant 
is equal to it, if not better than Egg Plant itself. Pkt. 5c.,3 pkts.. 14c., 6pkts., 25c. 
7PIIP Rll^h» This an ear *y Squash, very prolific and has given great 
Lf 11911 satisfaction. The originator says: "The point in favor of this 
Squas h 
is earli¬ 
ness; it is 
easier to 
cultivate 
than a 
vine; if 
picked as 
soon as 
matured 
itwillcon- 
tinue to 
bear until 
killed by 
frost. It 
is exceed¬ 
ingly har¬ 
dy, per¬ 
sistently 
living in 
dry soil 
without 
water. 
When wa¬ 
tered it 
grows and matures a big crop. It grows just the same as the ordinap' summer squash, 
requires the same kind of soil and tillage and begins to bear early. It is used in the green 
state and is better than Egg Plant when nicely fried in butter and well seasoned. It 
makes an excellent stew." We can highly recommend this Squash. We are unable 
to offer larger quantities of seed than as follows: Pkt., 6c., 3 pkts.. 1 5c., 6 pkts.. 25c.
