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 doubtless largely supplant the latter class, 
as Dclicata is far superior 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 freedom; twelve hills of two plants each gave 
us 352 sc[uashcs of excellent quality. Seed cavities very small; flesh hnc-grained; 
surface color, orange splashed with green. Properly stored they keep well through 
the winter. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. \ lb., $1.20 lb.

The best for pies and cooking. Deep, solid, 
fine-grained flesh of brilliant reddish-orange; 
quality, flavor and dryness unequalled.

and dry, and of the finest flavor, either 
boiled, steamed, baked, or in ])ies. Price,
