•GILL'S GOLDEN DELICIOUS (See outside back 
cover)—We take much pride in offering: this re¬ 
markable squash of our own origin. We have not 
found any variety that will equal it for quality. 
It is the finest squash for pies and even picked 
young: as a summer squash, its quality is outstand¬ 
ing:. The flesh and skin are a rich golden orange with 
no trace of green near the rind. The flesh is two to 
three inches thick. It cooks extra dry, fine grained 
and sweet. Many of our friends say, “It is better 
than a sweet potato.” The skin is thin without a 
hard shell, but it is a fine keeper for winter use. 
On account of its high quality and attractive color, 
it has created a sensation with canners and those 
who tested it claim it has the highest starch content 
of any variety they have tried. It grows very 
vigorous and produces heavy crops. Postpaid.

•GILL’S SELECTED EARLIANA—For years we 
have given personal selection to this strain and be¬ 
lieve we now have the largest and smoothest first 
early tomato yet offered. The fruit is of bright deep 
red color, rather thick from stem to blossom and 
unusually solid. Owing to the fact that it is a shy 
seeder we must ask more for the seed than other 
sorts. Do not confuse this with the ordinary strains 
of Earliana. Reports from the large growers claim 
this is the best strain of Earliana they have tried. 
Also reports from hot climates indicate it is unusu¬ 
ally successful. One grower picking continuously 
from July until November; storing green ones then 
for December supplies. This is made possible by a 
minimum of cracked fruits. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c;
