WINTER SQUASH—continued. 
WARREN. (Improved Essex Hybrid.) This squash has long 
- been a favorite in New England and is becoming more 
popular in other sections. The flesh is very thick, deep orange, firm 
and of superior quality. The fruit is round, heavily warted, flattened 
at the ends, bright orange-red color when ripe. It has a distinct but not 
too large button at the blossom end. This squash will keep well all 
winter. The seed is a true, well bred strain of our own growing that 
originated in New England.

GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK. *'•« Bright 
- Yellow. This 
summer squash has now almost entirely replaced the old Crookneck 
type, in both home and commercial gardens. It differs from the old 
Crookneck only in shape; the “neck” instead of being curved is straight 
and is more attractive in appearance and is much easier to pack in 
crates or boxes. The fruit is of large size, and of clear light yellow color. 
This is our strain which has been so popular with our customers. 
It is the most even strain we have seen producing nearly 100% straight 
squash with thick fleshy necks.

SWISS CHARD or Spinach Beet 
Biesskohl (Gcr.) Bieta (It.) 
A packet of seed will sow 15 feet of row; an ounce 50 feet. 
Swiss Chard is really a beet grown for its leaves. The entire leaves 
may be boiled and served as spinach or the midrib cooked alone; either 
are delicious. Sown in the spring the leaves are soon ready to eat and if 
cut will continue to grow and produce tender young leaves all summer and 
fall. If given a little protection it will survive the winter and make ex¬ 
cellent greens early in the spring. 
FORDHOOK GIANT. The Best Variety. The leaves are 
.- dark green, very large, much curled 
or “Savoyed,” thick of texture and quite tender making excellent boil¬ 
ing greens. The stems are pure white, broad and thick and make an 
excellent vegetable when cooked separately. We have the true stock.
