warted. Its cooking qualities are unexcelled. One of the best varieties for the 
market or table use. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb. 25c; lb. 75c.

ACORN or TABLE QUEEN— Surely a Squash fit for 
a Queen’s taste. The fruit are a nice size to handle, 
6 to 7 inches long and 4 to 5 inches in diameter. 
The shell is hard and smooth, so that they keep as 
well as the Hubbard, although they ripen 2 to 3 
weeks earlier. The color is dark green with a blotch 
of yellow on the under side when fully ripe. Table 
Queen is a wonderful yielder, one vine often pro¬
