Henderson’s Delicata Squash. 
For both summer and winter use. Dry , sweet and rich. 
Wonderfully prolific. 
DELICATA is the earliest of any vine Squash, maturing but 
a few days later than the summer varieties, and it will doubt¬ 
less largely supplant the latter class, as Delicata is far su¬ 
perior in quality, being as dry, sweet and richly flavored as 
any winter Squashes. The fruits, although of small size, are 
very solid and heavy, and are borne with remarkable free¬ 
dom; twelve hills of two plants each gave us 352 squashes 
of excellent quality. Seed cavities very small; flesh fine¬ 
grained; surface color, orange splashed with green. Properly 
stored they keep well through the winter. {See cut.) Price, 10c. 
pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. \ lb., $1.00 lb. 
“7 want nothing more delicious for my own use than your beautiful little 
Delicata Squash* 1 JOHN F. WIELANDY, Santa Fe, New Mexico. 
“7 have planted your Delicata Squash for seven or eight years and can truly say 
it is the best all-seasons Squash I have ever used. I never cared much for Squash 
but could *eat my weight,’ so to speak, in Delicata at any time.’ 1 
F. B. SWIFT, Danbury, Conn. 
“I had your Delicata Squash once, and I want them again. Best Squash 1 
ever ate .” Dr. J. H. T. McDOWELL, Marlin, Texas. 
“Henderson’s Delicata Squash is a wonderful Squash. It is one of the most 
deliciously fine-flavored Squashes I ever ate. Two hills of three vines each pro¬ 
duced twenty sweet, perfect Squashes.** JOHN P. RHODES, Rahway, N. J.

Strongj healthy grower. Bountiful yielder. 
The best for pies and cooking. Deep , solid, fine-grained 
flesh of brilliant reddish-orange; quality , 
flavor and dryness unequaled. 
This is one of the best autumn and 
winter Squashes—a good keeper. The 
vine is a strong grower, almost borer- 
proof, and a prolific bearer of large 
reddish-orange squashes, weighing 
from 25 to 35 lbs. each. The flesh is 
golden-red, very deep, fine-grained, 
sweet and dry, and of the finest 
flavor, either boiled, steamed, baked

‘‘We had a Heart o' Gold Squash in our 
garden that weighed 100 pounds; it was quite 
a curiosity about here, so we had it photographed 
and send you a copy. On another vine from 
the same plant there are three squashes that will 
reach at least 50, 40 and 30 lbs. each.” 
Mrs. E. A. WOLCOTT, Tallmadge, Ohio. 
* ‘7 write particularly to tell you about our Heart 
o’ Gold Squash', it is certainly the very best 
squash we have ever eaten — dry, fine-flavored 
and thick-meated.” 
G. E. STOPFORD. Amherst, Can. 
“The Heart o' Gold Squash is not only good 
eating but is magnificent in appearance when 
ripe, a noble production surely; for an exhibition 
they are also A 1 .**

GREGORY’S 
Delicious Squash. 
HTHIS new fall and winter Squash 
resembles the old Hubbard, 
having a dark olive-green hard shell ; 
average weight between five and 
ten pounds. Seed cavity small, flesh 
exceedingly thick, compact, fine¬ 
grained; color, golden-orange. The 
paramount merit of this variety is 
surpassing quality. The flesh is 
meaty, granulated, tender and almost 
of mealy dryness, cooking sweet and 
rich, whether steamed, baked, boiled 
or made into pies. This variety may 
be used in the fall but in winter the 
quality is at its best. Price, 10c. 
pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. J lb., $1.50 lb. 
HUBBARD SQUASH. {Henderson's Superior Strain.) This 
old and popular favorite is still one of the very best winter 
squashes grown; flesh deep golden-yellow and fine-grained, 
and whether boiled, steamed or baked, it is always richly 
flavored, sweet and dry. The vines are strong, luxuriant 
growers and very productive, yielding large, heavy squashes 
of dark bluish-green color, weighing often 10 to 25 lbs. each 
Properly stored it may be kept from September to May. 
Price, 6c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. J lb., 90c. lb. 
LARGE WARTED HUBBARD SQUASH. A very large strain 
of the famous Hubbard, retaining all the excellent features 
of the parent, with the additional merits of thicker flesh, 
finer color, increased size, better constitution and productive¬ 
ness, but its superlative merit is the hard, rough or warty 
shell, which not only indicates superior quality, but renders 
it one of the best winter keepers. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 
35c. i lb., $1.00 lb. 
GOLDEN HUBBARD SQUASH. Similar to the old Hubbard 
in growth, form, size and productiveness. Skin of a rich 
orange-red and heavily warted, highly attractive and of extra 
fine quality. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. J lb., $1.00 lb.
