good keeper. To many, DELICIOUS is the 
finest flavored of all the winter squashes. 
WARTY HUBBARD —Of the same type as 
the regular Hubbard but the shell is more 
heavily warted and is slightly larger than the 
true Hubbard. Our strain is an improvement 
of the old Warty Hubbard. 
HUBBARD SELECT — Our strain is su¬ 
perior. Fruits are pointed at both ends, be¬ 
ing somewhat warted, large, with dark bronze 
green skin. Flesh is orange-yellow, dry sweet 
and thick. A splendid keeper and of top notch 
quality, weighing 15 pounds. 
GOLDEN or RED HUBBARD —We think 
this strain is more prolific and earlier than 
the regular HUBBARD. Has glossy warted 
orange-yellow skin, which turns to a salmon 
red at maturity. Fruits weigh 10 to 12 pounds, 
and keep well. Canners prefer this sort. Flesh 
is deep golden yellow. Vines often ripen 5 to 
6 of these large fruits. 
CULTURE —Are among TOMATOES 
the most delicious of our 
finest vegetables and can 
be raised successfully 
from the seed with a little 
care and attention. Sow 
the seed in the hotbed, 
shallow boxes or flower 
pots, about six weeks be¬ 
fore time for transplant¬ 
ing in the garden or field. 
About March is the usual 
time for sowing. In May, 
set in the open ground 
about 3 feet apart each 
way. Is a good idea to 
stake or trellis the fruit. 
One ounce will give 1,500 
plants. Use 4 ounces to 
the acre for transplant¬ 
ing. 
ACME — Of the red 
standard kinds. Acme is 
still a favorite among 
shippers and home grow¬ 
ers. Its uniform, smooth, 
medium sized purplish red 
fruit grows in clusters of 
4 or 5, is solid, free from 
cracks and a good ship¬ 
per. Flesh is a deep red, 
fine in texture, and slight¬ 
ly acid. 
BONNY BEST —Recom¬ 
mended by the U. S. De¬ 
partment of Agriculture 
as one of the best red 
sorts. Fruits are of bright 
scarlet red of medium 
size, weighing 5 to 6 
ounces each, borne in 
clusters of 5 to 6. Plant 
BONNY BEST to follow 
EARLIANA. 
JOHN BAER — Merits 
its high favor because it 
is one of the earliest to 
ripen good sized, round, 
smooth, bright scarlet 
fruits. Canners, shippers, champion or Tree Tomatoes 
as well as home garden¬ 
ers, prefer this variety.
