«» BANANA SQUASH 
It is probably the finest in quality of all squashes, large in size, a great yielder, a good keeper, 
and in fact is just about right in every way, but unfortunately it makes but very little seed, and tor 
that reason the seedsmen seem to have dropped it, and it is practically unknown to-the present gen¬ 
eration. It grows to large size, generally over 2 feet long and sometimes over 3 feet. It keeps equal 
to a Hubbard, is better quality, more prolific and earlier. It has a tough shell, but not hard like the 
Hubbard The picture shows its appearance better than I can describe it. Pkt., 10 cts., oz., 18 cts., 
% lb., 40 cts.; y 2 lb., 70 cts.; lb., $1.25; 2 lbs., $2.30, postpaid.
