New Golden Hubbard 
First Offered by Us as a Novelty. Now Known 
and Grown in Every State in the Union 
This is a true Hubbard Squash, except in color, 
which is bright golden. It ripens its crop very 
early and uniformly, thus making it a certain 
cropper. The fruits are very uniform in size, 
weighing from 6 to 8 pounds, and in shape are 
like the Hubbard. Though maturing early, they 
are wonderfully long keepers, so they can be held 
over in good condition for canning use. The shell 
is warty, hard and strong, and a very beautiful 
orange red color, except for a bit of olive green 
on the blossom end. It cooks very dry, fine 
grained and good flavored. Pkt. 7c; oz. 13c; 2 
oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 35c; 1/2 lb. 65c; lb. $1.15; 2 lb.

winter Squashes; flesh bright orange yellow, fine 
grained, very dry, sweet and rich flavored; keeps 
perfectly good throughout the winter; boils 
or bakes exceedingly dry and is esteemed by 
many to be as good baked as a sweet potato.

to quality of the flesh and color and wartiness of 
the shell, but the latter peculiarities are largely 
determined by the soils in which the Squashes are 
raised. Pkt. 7c; oz. 17c; 2 oz. 28c; y 4 lb. 40c;

WINTER 
Improved Hubbard Squash 
New Banana Squash 
New Banana Squash 
The Best “All Purpose*' Squash Grown 
This new Squash is a heavy yielder 
and the best all-purpose variety ever 
grown. Can be used when quite young 
and will keep splendidly for a winter 
squash. The color is grayish-green, shell 
soft, so that it can be cut with a knife. 
It grows from eighteen to thirty inches 
long and six to nine inches in diameter. 
It is very prolific but a shy seeder. Flesh 
is of yellow color; entirely free from 
fibre or stringiness. Cooks up perfectly 
smooth and is of most delicious flavor. 
Matures rather late and should be planted 
early if very large fruits are desired.
