Note the thickness—no 
depression around the 
stem and absence of scal¬ 
lops; this means about 
double as much meat as in 
other scalloped squashes. 
The quality and flavor are 
extra fine. The creamy 
■white squashes average 2 
to 21^ pounds; are partic¬ 
ularly fine for home use 
and profitable for market¬ 
ing. The plants grow 
about two feet high, are 
very vigorous and great 
producers. It is so much 
superior to other scal¬ 
loped squashes that everyone should give it preference. Shippers 
report that in every market to which they shipped our Earliest 
Prolific it commanded a premium of 26 or 50c a crate over other 
varieties. Pkt. lOo; oz. 15o; lb. 40c; lb. $1.35; 2,-lb. lots $1.25 per
