For Summer 
SQUASH 
For Winter 
Squash—Golden Macaroni 
or Spaghetti 
Entirely Different Sort From the Orient 
(See illustration on page 9). Each vine produces six 
' to ten fruits which are oval in shape and 8 to 10 inches 
long. When ripe they are a bright orange-buff color. 
They keep remarkably well in storage and can easily be 
kept all winter in a moderately warm dry room. The 
meat separates from the rind and comes out in the form 
of strings like spaghetti. Here is a truly valuable addition to our 
vegetable list. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; X A lb., 75c, prepaid. 
Syme’s' Blue Hubbard 
Syme's Blue Hubbard 
A new distinct type of Hubbard and a very fine qual¬ 
ity Squash. Fruit resembles the Warty Hubbard in size 
and shape, but the color is a clear green-blue and very 
distinct. Not to be confused with Marblehead Squash, 
which is earlier and of much lighter color. Extra thick 
meated, fine grained, dry and of excellent flavor. Keeps 
as well as the other Hubbards. In big demand in the east¬ 
ern markets. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; X A lb., 50c; lb., $1.50, 
prepaid. 
Isbell's Plymouth Rock 
IMPROVED BANANA 
One of the best general purpose Squashes because it 
can be used as either a summer or winter Squash. The 
color of the shell is a bright gray, the shell is not as hard 
as that of the Hubbards, but they are nevertheless an 
excellent winter keeper and will keep without difficulty 
until March. Isbell’s Plymouth Bock grows from 18 to 
30 inches long and from 7 to 12 inches in diameter. The 
flesh is a deep golden color, entirely free from lumps and 
stringless, and very fine grained. They cook quickly 
and the flavor is the finest imaginable in a Squash. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 15c; X A lb., 45c; lb., $1.40, prepaid. 
Isbell's Golden Hubbard 
A Fine Squash for the Home Garden 
Isbell's Improved Hubbard 
THE ACKNOWLEDGED STANDARD FOB QUALITY 
Isbell’s Improved Hubbard Squash represents the 
most perfect type of this justly famous variety, and in 
addition our strain is so early that we grow our seed in 
Michigan. This is an extremely valuable characteristic 
because this otherwise universally popular sort some¬ 
times fails to ripen, even as far South as Central Ohio, 
unless it is planted very early. The fruits large, mod¬ 
erately warted; shell dark bronze-green. The flesh is 
always of a rich golden-yellow color, very fine grained, 
solid and sweet. The shell is very hard and protects 
the flesh from bruising, etc., so that no sort can surpass 
the Hubbard as a winter keeper. In addition to its earli¬ 
ness our strain is particularly selected for its rich color 
of flesh. Ready for table use in 95 to 100 days. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 15c; X A lb., 40c; lb., $1.20, prepaid. 
Chicago Warted Hubbard 
Excellent Winter Sort 
A new type of Hubbard produced by careful selection 
of the large, dark green, warted specimens always seen 
in good stocks of it. It has been bred to this type until 
it is so fixed that nearly all have very hard, warty shells, are 
large, and of very best quality. The vines are healthy and strong, 
producing quite freely the handsome dark green fruits. Flesh 
very rich, golden yellow, fine grained and dry. Popular with mar¬ 
ket men and growers catering to a fancy trade. Our Michigan 
grown seed will mature early crops. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; X A lb., 
40c; lb., $1.20, prepaid. 
Buttercup 
IS VERY SWEET—COOKS DRY AND MEALY 
(See color illustration on page 5). A new type of 
Winter Squash of splendid quality. The outside color is 
dark green like Hubbard and the flesh is a rich orange, 
untinged with green. The shape is nearly that of the 
small sugar pumpkin except the top and bottom surface 
is flattened instead of rounded. The texture of the flesh 
is smooth and the flavor is mild like a sweet potato. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; X A lb., 65c; lb., $2.25, prepaid.
