BUTTERCUP SQUASH. A cross between Essex Hybrid and Quality 
developed by Professor A. F. Yeager of the North Dakota Experi¬ 
ment Station. The squashes weigh between 3 and 5 pounds with 
thin, tough green skin. There is no fibrous section and tlie deep, 
rich orange flesh is untinged with green. It is a good keeper with 
less waste and shrinkage in cooking than any other squash we 
have tried. The flavor is pleasant and very like that of a sweet 
potato, very sweet; the texture smooth and comparatively dry. 
This is the best squash we have ever tasted. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c;
