Gould’s Blue Hubbards 
A strain of the regular Hubbard. Fruit is large, blue- 
gray shell, long keeping and finest quality. A very popu¬ 
lar variety on some of the eastern markets and becom¬ 
ing of increasing importance on the Twin City markets. 
Gould’s Improved Hubbard* 
This Squash is the favorite for long keeping. The vines 
are strong and very productive. The skin is rather 
smooth, of a dark, green color. When well matured and 
dried, it becomes very hard and will keep well into the 
winter. Flesh is bright orange yellow, fine grained, dry, 
sweet flavored. 
Chicago Warted Hubbard* 
Very similar to Gould’s Hubbard, but skin is darker and 
covered with heavy warts. Also a good keeper. 
Turban • 
This is somewhat of a novelty. It is turban shape, and 
the color varies from green and yellow to dark red. This 
can be shellacked and used as an ornamental Gourd. 
Table Queen* 
A small Squash that is rapidly gaining favor as a mar¬ 
ket variety. Fruit acorn shaped, color dark green, size 
6 inches long and 4 inches in diameter, of good quality. 
A fine variety for home or market garden. 
TOMATO 
Gould’s Dwarf Giant 
Habit of growth is like the Dwarf Champion excepting 
that fruits are much larger and meatier with a delicious 
flavor. Matures medium early and continues to bear until 
frost. A fine tomato. 
Livingston’s Beauty* 
One of the smoothest skinned and best of the large sorts. 
The vines are large, vigorous and very productive. The 
fruit is large, uniform in size and very smooth. The 
skin is purplish-pink and flesh is pink; very solid and 
fine flavored. A fine variety for medium early or for 
main crop. A splendid sort for slicing. 
Stone* 
This is one of the most popular of the late varieties. It 
is a good late canning tomato and is grown in some 
sections as a market garden variety. The plants are 
strong and vigorous and produce a heavy yield of fruit 
where the growing season is long. The fruit is bright 
red in color, of good size, smooth, round, meaty and fine 
flavor. 
Marglobe* 
A fine blight resistant tomato produced under the direc¬ 
tion of Dr. F. J. Pritchard of the United States Bureau 
of Plant Industry. The plants are very disease resistant. 
It produces immense yields of handsome deep red globe- 
shaped tomatoes, of good size with a flavor that is a 
happy medium between the acid and non-acid sorts. 
The shape and size make this a very desirable salad or 
slicing tomato. 
Crimson Cushion or Beefsteak 
Is very large, round, with bright scarlet skin, solid flesh 
of fine quality and seed cells small. Plants are very 
prolific. 
Oxheart 
Fruit is large and very solid with few seeds. It is heart- 
shaped, the skin pink, and the flavor delicious. Used for 
second early and main crop.

pepper family. The fruit is deep purple, nearly black, 
round and slightly smaller than a Concord Grape.

serves and pies. Plants grow 3 feet high. Fruit ripens 
in September. Culture same as tomatoes. Pkt. r>c._
