licious meal you will long remember, and if you 
like pie, try one made from Table Queen. You will

but will get so many from each seed planted, the 
vines being so vigorous and productive. The fruits 
are a nice size- to handle, 6 to 7 inches long and 4 
to 5 inches in diameter. The meat is exceptionally 
dry and mealy and of extra fine flavor. The shell 
is thin, but hard and smooth, and they keep as well 
as the Hubbard, although they ripen earlier. In ad¬

and winter use, it also can be picked when about 
half grown and cooked like summer squash, either 
fried or boiled, and is very delicious. The color is
