*GILL’S GOLDEN DELICIOUS—We take much 
pride in offering this remarkable squash of our own 
origin. We have not found any variety that will 
equal it for quality. It is the finest squash for 
pies and even picked young as a summer squash, 
its quality is outstanding. This variety was origin¬ 
ated by ourselves, resulting from a cross between 
Boston Marrow and the Delicious. The flesh and 
skin are a rich golden orange with no trace of green 
near the rind. The flesh is two to three inches thick. 
It cooks extra dry. fine grained and sweet. Many 
of our friends say, “It is better than a sweet potato”. 
The skin is thin without a hard shell, but it is a 
fine keeper for winter use. On account of its high 
quality and attractive color, it has created a sensa¬ 
tion with canners and those who tested it claim 
it has the highest starch content of any variety 
they have tried. It grows very vigorous and 
produces heavy crops. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; *4 lb. 45c. 
lb. $1.35.
