*GILL’S GOLDEN DELICIOUS—We take much 
pride in offering this remarkable squash of our own 
origin. We have not found any variety that will 
equal it for quality. It is the finest squash for 
pies and even picked young as a summer squash, 
its quality is outstanding. This variety was origin¬ 
ated by ourselves. The flesh and skin are a rich 
golden orange with no trace of green near the rind. 
The flesh is two to three inches thick. It cooks extra 
dry, fine grained and sweet. Many of our friends 
say, “It is better than a sweet potato.” The skin is 
thin without a hard shell, but it is a fine keeper for 
winter use. On account of its high quality and 
attractive color, it has created a sensation with 
canners and those who tested it claim it has the 
highest starch content of any variety they have tried. 
It grows very vigorous arid produces heavy crops.
