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 
See Colored Picture on 1 
Inside Front Cover Jr 
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 untinged with green. It 
is a good keeper with less waste and shrinkage in 
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., 7c; oz., 20c; J4 lb., 
60c; 1 lb., $1.75. 5 lbs., $7.75 Postpaid. 
• 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., 35c; 
1 lb., 90c; 5 lbs., $3.95 Postpaid.

Dear Sirs: 
Please mail me one pound Big Dakota 
Peas. I have everything in my garden— 
beets, onions and beans. The Big Dakota 
peas are the finest I ever grew, and I am send¬ 
ing the cash for another bunch of them.

Unfortunately this vegetable is greatly neg¬ 
lected by the majority of farmers, as it adds 
greatly to the winter vegetables. It is easily 
grown, yields abundantly and is a most satis¬ 
factory vegetable. Many stock growers plant an 
acre or more of the summer Squash. It yields 
immensely and makes an excellent summer and 
fall feed for milch cows. 
New Golden Delicious 
• GOLDEN DELICIOUS 
We take much pride in offering this remarkable 
squash, and we believe it is destined to become 
very popular for canneries, market gardeners 
and home gardens. We have never grown a 
squash with such high quality as this and it has 
a very attractive appearance. It is the result of 
a cross between Boston Marrow and Delicious 
and retains the high quality of the Delicious and 
the beautiful color of Boston Marrow. The skin 
is a bright reddish-orange, and the flesh is rich 
golden orange. The flesh is 2 to 3 inches thick 
and there is no green zone near the rind. It 
cooks extra dry, fine grained and sweet. Many 
of our friends say “it is better than a sweet 
potato.” The skin is thin without a hard shell 
but it is a fine keeper for winter use. On account 
of its high quality and attractive color it has 
created a sensation with canners and those who 
tested it claim it has the highest starch content 
of any variety they have tried. Besides all its 
other fine qualities, it is the finest squash for 
pies. It grows very vigorous and produces heavy 
crops. Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c; 'A lb., 40c; lb., $1.20; 
5 lbs., $5.45 Postpaid. 
—SQUASH PIE—

3 egg yolks, 
2 cups milk, 
1 teaspoon cornstarch,

pastry and fill with the above filling, adding 
stiffly beaten eggs the last thing. Sprinkle 
lightly with cinnamon and bake until the 
filling is firm. Serve with or without 
whipped cream as desired. 
• 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 flav¬ 
or. The fruits are shaped like bananas. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; |4 lb., 30c; 1 lb., 80c; 5 lbs., $3.65 
Postpaid. 
• 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 agreeable flavor. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; lb., 25c; 1 lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $2.95

• 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 because 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 100 
squash on one vine; they are dark green in color, and are more or less pear 
shaped approximately 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., 5c; oz., 12c; 'A lb., 30c; 1 lb., 90c; 5 lbs., $3.95 Post¬ 
paid. 
• 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 very dark green. Skin more or less 
warted, and very hard. Flesh, rich yellow. A good shipper and keeper.
