Improved 
Hubbard Squash. 
The Delicious Squash. 
THE DELICIOUS SQUASH —This is one of Gregory’s latest introductions, who 
says it is the eighth variety he has introduced. The “Delicious” is the product of the 
work of years in careful selection, crossing and isolating. The Faxon was the starting 
point. About every variety we ever knew enters into its composition, among the least 
desirable of which were several kinds of yellow and the large Brazilian blue varieties. 
We have been engaged for years in weeding these out, at the same time selecting by the 
test of cooking the richest among the class bearing a green color, and these we crossed 
on the Hubbard. 
For lack of space I cannot give full history of this grand new Squash, but mv custo¬ 
mers know that Mr. Gregory is an authority on Squashes, and anv of his introductions 
are very valuable. The size of this new Squash closely follows'the Hubbard, which 
weighs between five and ten pounds. By all means give it a trial this year. It is only 
offered in packets at 15c. each or four for 50c. postpaid. 
.VIA M AT0’TII WHALE SQUASH—This new Squash comes from France and has 
1 ately been introduced. A most magnificent variety. The introducer in describing, says: 
’ ‘ The Squashes are often three feet long, of dark slate color and sometimes weigh over 
100 pounds. Is very prolific; vines are robust and hardy; flesh is solid, of a beautifnl 
orange color, of excellent quality and a good winter keeper.” You should give this new 
variety a trial by all means. The seed is very scarce. Per pkt. «c.: 3 pkts. 15c. 
MAMMOTH CHILI—Of round form, a 
little flattened at stem and blossom ends; 
color bright orange, while skin is verv 
smooth; flesh quite thick. I have grown 
Specimens to- weigh between 100 and 200 
pounds. Per pkt. 5c.

NEW FAXON—A new variety and dis¬ 
tinct from other Squashes. When ripe some 
are pale yellow with yellow stripes in hol¬ 
lows ; others are mottled with green and 
Striped lighter. It can be used as a summer 
Squash, for it matures earlv. It is also a 
good winter variety of excellent keeping 
quality, whether it is ripe or green. The 
New Faxon flesh is of a deep orange yellow, and, before 
^ , cooking, seems to have a shell similar to 
any other Squash, but when cooked there appears to be no shell. Per okt 5c • oz 8c •

MAMMOTH HUBBARD—This is 
another strain of the Hubbard Squash, 
noted for its enormous size, and such 
stock is sure of being a good seller in 
any market, no matter what the com- 
g etition. The Mammoth Hubbard 
quash is-more attractive in market 
than the common variety. It is equal 
in every respect to the well known 
Hubbard, but where I claim it is su¬ 
perior is on account of its enormous 
size. If you want some mammoth 
squashes, do not fail to plant this.
