BANQUET. 
A golden squash, the re¬ 
sult of our cross between 
Buttercup and Gilmore, earlier and ni,ore 
prolific than Buttercup with Buttercup 
shape, thick dry orange flesh and fine 
quality. We raised many tons of Ban¬ 
quet Squash in 1939. We’re proud of 
this one. Pkt., 8c; oz., 18e; 14 lb., 50c; 
Vz lb., 90c; 1 lb., 81.60, postpaid. 
RED or GOLDEN HUBBARD. Similar to Im¬ 
proved Hubbard except for its orange-red 
color, hut slightly smaller and decidedly 
earlier. The flesh is deep orange, dry and 
of splendid quality. A superior table va¬ 
riety and an excellent keeper, this is a fine 
variety for the home garden. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 13e; i/i lb., 35e; Va lb., 65c; 1 lb., $1.10',

IMPROVED HUBBARD. The Standard 
- Winter 
Squash. More extensively grown than any 
other variety. The. fruits are large, heavy 
and moderately warted. The shell is a dark 
bronze-green; flesh a deep orange yellow, 
fine grained, dry and sweet. Its quality is 
the standard of excellence. Pkt., 5c; ,oz.,

Hubbard 
WINNEBAGO. One of the very 
best of squashes. The squash 
is long, greenish black in 
color, and a good keeper. The 
bright orange flesh is thick, 
very dry and sweet and less 
stringy than almost any other 
squash. Under normal condi¬ 
tions many Winnebago Squash 
will weigh over 30 lbs. Pkt., 
8c; oz., 18c. 
BUTTERCUP. Originated in North Dakota by Professor A. P. 
- Yeager. The squashes weigh between 3 and 5 pounds 
with thin, tough green skin. There is no flbrous section and the 
thick, rich orange flesh has no tinge of green. It is a good keeper 
with very little waste in cooking. The flavor is sweet and fine; the 
texture smooth and dry. A fine squash and our seed is the best ob¬ 
tainable. Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c; % lb., 45e; Yz lb., 85c; 1 lb., 81*o0, postpaid. 
ARIKARA. If you want the earliest large Winter Squash, the squash 
that will set fruit and outyield all others under diought conditions, 
plant the Arikara. The shell is salmon, varied with blue green; flesh 
orange tinged with green near the shell, of firm texture and fair 
quality. It is a wonderful keeper. Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c; Yi lb., 40c; Yi lb** 
70c; 1 lb., 81>^5, postpaid.
