When only half grown and cooked green, as summer 
squashes, thev are dry, fine flavored and delicious. Cut in 
slices and fried, like egg-plants, they can hardly be dis¬ 
tinguished from that excellent vegetable, but their greatest 
value consists in being used as a winter squash. 
When pulled before frost, laid away in a dry room or cellar, 
they will keep sound and sweet the whole winter through. 
For making pies, custards, etc., their beautiful yellow 
flesh possesses a dry, rich, sweet flavor, even without the 
use of sugar. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; J4 lb., 25e.; lb., 75e.

NEW SQUASH—The Red Hubbard—A Long=looked=for Variety at Last 
After yeni'B of careful sc- 
Ieclion,Ho that in character 
and color it has become 
(irmly flxod, we have been 
able to grow enough pure 
seed to oiler in quantity this 
excellent now squash. It is a 
sport from that old standard 
of excellence, the Hubbard ; 
a perfect typo of its parent, 
except in color, which is a 
bright orange red, exceed¬ 
ingly showy and attractive. 
Flesh much richer in color 
than ITubbard, tine grained, 
cooks very dry, of excellent 
flavor. Its keeping qualities 
are fully equal to, while 
in productiveness it far ex¬ 
cels U 10 old variety. Its 
superior keeping qualities, 
combined with its sweet, 
rich flavor, attractive color 
and shape, arc bound to make 
it a great market seller.
