OUR SQUASH SEED 
We are one oi the most extensive growers oi squash seed in the United 
States. Our iields are well separated to prevent cross-pollination, this being 
an important item in the growing oi squash seed, as they will mix at a 
much greater distance than any other vegetable. Market growers will find 
our squash true to type and imiiorm. No grower uses more care in the 
production oi his stock. 
Dvrari Yellow Summer Crookneck is a iavorite in the south ior iall 
planting; Early White Bush is a nice bright green when young, turning to 
pure white when mature. In some sections Dwari Bush Green is taking 
the place oi the Early White Bush because oi its deeper green color. The 
Italian varieties are becoming more popular each year. The east and south 
seem to preier Cocozelle, while Caliiornia planters like the Zucchinis. Be 
sure and try the New Golden Table Queen. It is very attractive, easily 
grown and will add a great deal oi color to your roadside market display. 
We are making a special price on Pikes Peak, as we have a surplus.. It is 
a good variety and seems to withstand the attack oi black squash bugs 
better than other winter sorts. 
We believe our stock oi Dwari Yellow Summer Crookneck Squash to be one oi 
the best available.
