*GILL’S GOLDEN DELICIOUS—We take much 
pride in offering this remarkable 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 outstanding. 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 vigor- 
ous and produces heavy crops. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c;

this is the best strain of Earliana they have tried.
