SQUASH—Continued.

TRUK TYPE HUBBARD SQUASH. 
*True Hubbard—The standard squash, and 
while we do not consider it equal to the De¬ 
licious in flavor, it is a heavier yielder and is 
better known in the market. We have a true 
stock of seed, carefully selected for color, 
shape and quality* Pkt., Sc; oz., 15c; 1-Ib , 
40c; lb., $1.25. 
^Underwood’s Blight Resistant—This new 
squash is the result of crossing three varie¬ 
ties together and has now been tested for sev¬ 
eral years. In sections of Eastern Oregon it 
is very hard to grow squash, owing to blight, 
but it does not affect this variety. It is a 
heavy producer and the squashes are of good 
quality. The colors are not fixed, but many 
of them are orange yellow, while others are 
deep green. If you are troubled with blight, 
try this variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 1-lb., 60c; 
lb., $1.75. 
TOMATOES. 
Plant seed in box inside or in hotbed from February 15 to March 1. Transplant May 
10 to 20 in rows 6 feet wide and 5 to 6 feet in rows. A light loamy soil, well cultivated 
and fertilized, is best. 
*GILL’S SELECT EARLIANA—The ear¬ 
liest, smooth, first-class toamto, and will 
ripen a full crop in the Northwest states. 
Fruit a large, bright red, very smooth, deep 
from stem to blossom end; very solid, with 
few seeds and of fine flavor. Sets plenty of 
tomatoes that ripen in a short season. In 
selecting our stock seed in the season of 1910 
we found one cluster of fruit which ripened 
even all over, not having any green color 
about the stem so common with this and 
many other varieties. Our seed is now all 
grown from this start, producing a more 
even colored Earliana than any yet offered. 
The fruit is very solid with few seeds and the 
flavor is excellent. The best for canning. 
This strain has proven to be the best of the 
first early tomatoes and we have many testi¬ 
monials from our customers to that effect. 
Regarding prices, we have been compelled 
to make them considerably higher, as we 
find that the more we develop this strain the 
less seed they make. Last fall the tomatoes 
out of which we saved seed were worth 
from 50c to 80c per box. Adding to this the 
cost of saving seed and overhead, we must 
ask the following prices: Half pkt., 15c; 
pkt., 25c; i-oz., 40c; 1-oz., 75c; oz., $2.50. 
• Sunnybrook Earliana — This is a high-grade 
strain of seed. Eastern grown, and which 
will give splendid results. The fruit is large 
and smooth, of a bright red color; very solid 
and of excelent flavor This strain is far 
superior to Spark’s Earliana, as usually sold. 
Pkt., 10c; i-oz., 40c; oz., 75c; i-lb., $2.50. 
Perfection —A medium large tomato of 
deep crimson scarlet. Fruits nearly round 
and uniformly smooth and of best quality. 
Ripens in mid-season. Extensively used for 
canning. Pkt., Sc; oz., 35c; i-lb., 90c; lb., $3 
/BONNY’S BEST EARLY—On account 
of its heavy production, uniform shape, ex¬ 
quisite deep scarlet color, fine flavor and 
medium size this is the best market garden¬ 
ers’ tomato. Only ten days to two weeks 
later than Select Earliana. Gave better satis¬ 
faction last summer on the public market 
than any tomato sold there. 
Bonny’s best has proven very popular with 
market gardeners and greenhouse growers. 
We believe it will yield more first grade to¬ 
matoes for packing than anv other and their 
bright red color and uniform size command 
a ready sale. One of the best slicing toma¬ 
toes grown. Seed of our own saving. Pkt., 
15c; 1-oz., 40c; oz., $1.25. 
Bonny’s Best, Eastern Grown Seed. First 
class seed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 50c; 1-lb., $1.50. 
Whole Salad —Heavy yielder of medium¬ 
sized tomatoes, valuable for use as individual 
salad tomatoes or for canning whole. Pkt. 10c 
*Chalk’s Early Jewel— A reliable sort; 
while larger fruited than Bonny’s Best, it 
is not quite so uniform in shape; a heavy 
yielder of good flavored fruit. Our seed is 
carefully selected. Pkt., 5c; oz., 40c; 1-lb., 
$1.25. 
Early Dwarf Quarter Century —Earliest 
of the dwarf or tree tomato type. The fruit 
is bright red, solid and meaty, smooth and
