Sell them to Bakers and Restaurants 
HOW TO GROW SQUASH.—Plant 8 or 10 seeds in each 
hill and have hills of bush varieties 3 to 4 feet apart and vining 
late sorts 6 to 8 feet apart each way. After danger of bugs is 
over, thin out all but four of the best plants. Before planting 
seeds, work manure in each hill. Dust with Siug-Shot to kill 
the Squash-bug. Squash can also be grown like pumpkins in 
the cornfields at the same time you plant the com, in every 
fourth hill. One ounce will plant 25 hills; 4 pounds to the acre. 
Schell’s Table Queen. Also called “Acorn.” Some 
of our customers are having remarkable and profit¬ 
able success with our strain of Table Queen. The 
Squashes are just about 6 inches long, 4 inches in 
diameter, dark deep green in color; when fully ripe 
the rind turns to bright orange-yellow. However, 
they may be used just as well before as after ripening, 
served by halves and used for sauce or for pies. They 
yield tremendously and have an exceedingly good 
palatable flavor. Try a crop of these this year. Fine 
for the home-garden as well as for market. Pkt. 5 cts.; 
oz. 20 cts.; Klb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.25; 4 lbs. $4.60. 
Schell’s “Giant Straitneck.” New and quite 
popular already. Flesh is salmon and of very de¬ 
licious quality. It is like its parent, the crookneck, 
in every way except, as the name implies, it has bred 
to a straight neck, which is quite an advantage— 
easier to prepare, and more convenient to gardeners 
to pack in crates or barrels for market. Pkt. 5 cts.; 
oz. 20 cts.; %\b. 45 cts.; lb. $1.25; 4 lbs. $4.60. 
Golden Hubbard. In shape this is quite like the 
Improved Hubbard, but earlier. The skin is a rich 
orange-red and the flesh a deep orange of the best 
quality. An excellent keeper and a good sort for 
market. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; Klb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.25; 
4 lbs. $4.60. 
Chicago Warted Hubbard. In size and quality it is 
very much like the well-known Hubbard, but is more 
heavily warted and has very dark green—almost 
black—skin; flesh rich orange-yellow. Very fine. 
Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 45 cts.; lb. Si.25. 
Schell’s Blue Hubbard. This variety was developed 
from the original Hubbard Squash. Its skin is a
