We know a doctor who drove eight miles on an average of every ten days this fall and early winter to get Buttercup Squash. The common 
remark is—“I never have had such squash since I was a boy.” Better try Buttercup. 
SQUASH 
>t:GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK: 55 days. 
An improvement over the old Bush Crookneck as it 
packs better for shipping. Our seed stock is, we be¬ 
lieve, one of the finest in the East. The plant is 
semi-bush type; the squashes are large and rich yel¬ 
low in color. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 35 cts.; 
lb. $1.15.

days. One of the best known Italian squashes.

lighter green turning to golden stripes. Flesh green¬ 
ish white and of fine flavor. Grow 15 to 20 inches in 
length. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; lb.

individual squashes are 5 to 6 inches long by 4^^ 
inches in diameter, ribbed, smooth and dark green.

lengthwise, take out seeds, add butter and seasoning 
and serve in the shell. Table Queen fits the needs of 
the small family, restaurant and hotel. Pkt. 5 cts.;

CONNECTICUT STRAIGHTNECK: 50 days. Ear¬ 
lier and more dwarf in growth than the Giant Sum¬ 
mer Straightneck. We believe this new variety, 
originated by the Connecticut Experiment Station, 
will help many growers to take advantage of the 
early market when prices are high. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 
20 cts.; X lb. 60 cts.; lb. $2.00.

we have one of the purest strains on the market.

WESTERN GROWN BLUE HUBBARD SEED: 110

The grower who has his straightneck squash on the market first, 
makes the money. Connecticut Straightneck is the earliest. 
Buttercup squash will be as popular in a few years as Table Queen is now. Some growers are now getting as 
much as 200% premium on Buttercup
