MAMMOTH BUSH SUMMER CROOKNECK. The crookneck class 
of Squashes surpasses in quality any of the summer varieties, and in 
the Mammoth we have the delicious buttery flavor of the original sort, 
but of just double the size. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. y lb., 70c. lb. 
41 The Mammoth Summer Crookneck Squash succeeded well with me, and pleased me so 
much that I would like to procure more of the same seed I received, if possible. This Squash 
is not only early, but of particularly good quality for a summer Squash, and produces 
most attractive golden-orange Squashes; they would take a * premium at any fair for their 
beauty, and besides they were the most vigorous and productive among seven or eight 
other varieties that I grew.” E. T. Kirby, 
Harper’s Ferry, W. Va. 
YELLOW BUSH SUMMER CROOKNECK. A much-esteemed variety. 
The fruit is orange yellow, covered with warty excrescences. It is con¬ 
sidered the best flavored of the summer varieties. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 
20c. yi lb., 55c. lb. 
HENDERSON’S NEW •‘CREAM-COLORED” CROOKNECK. Anew, 
beautiful and distinct variety of the old favorite Summer Crookneck. It 
lias a compact, bushy habit, producing Squashes twice the size of the 
common sorts, the average length being eighteen inches to two feet, and 
they often weigh fivo and six pounds each. The cream-colored exterior 
is very attractive. Although so much larger than the old variety, it is 
equally early and very productive; flesh dry and of a most agreeable 
flavor, especially so when picked at the right time (as all Squashes 
of this class should be), before the shell has formed or can be broken by 
tho thumb nail. 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. y lb., 80c. lb. 
VEGETABLE M ARRO W. A favorite English sort. The fruit is very vari¬ 
able in size, from nine to eighteen inches in length, and from four to six 
inches in diameter. Skin a greenish yellow, flesh white, soft and of rich 
flavor. This is entirely distinct from all other varieties of Squash. Plant 
eight feet apart. 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. y lb., $1.00 lb. 
A few years ago, one of tho most prominent Long 
Island market gardeners brought into our store 
specimonsof a Squash which lie bad been growing 
for several years, and which ho found would sell in 
the New York markets at higher prices than any 
othor sort. It was a selection of the old White 
Bush Scallop, and a vast improvement, having less 
prominent ridges and being much deeper, so that a 
single Squash would actually contain nearly twice 
as much weightfor the samo cubic measurement as 
tho old sort. In addition to this, it is of finer quality 
and very prolific. We can strongly recommend this 
variety. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. % lb., 
80c. lb. 
GOLDEN CUSTARD BUSH. Exceeds in sizo any 
of the scalloped sorts, frequently two feet in 
diameter. A dark rich golden yellow. Quality 
excellent. It grows in bush form, wonderfully 
productive. 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. y 70c. lb* 
SILVER CUSTARD. A fitting companion to the 
Golden Custard Bush Squash. Grows to an im¬ 
mense size, often producing single Squashes 18 
inches in diameter, of a delicato white color, and 
of finest quality. Very productive. 10c. pkt., 15c. 
oz., 30c. y lb., 70c. lb. 
WHITE BUSH SCALLOPED. “ Cymling.” This 
and the Yellow Bush Scalloped are esteemed the 
earliest, and are grown almost exclusively for 
first crop. Prom the hard texture of the rind it is 
well suited for shipping, and they are grown exclu¬ 
sively at the South for that purpose. 5c. pkt., 10c. 
oz., 20c. y lb., 55c. lb. 
YELLOW BUSH SCALLOPED. Differs from the 
white only in color. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. y lb.,
