*GILL’S GOLDEN DELICIOUS (See front cover) 
—We take great pride in offering this remarkable 
sauash of our own origin. We have not found any 
variety that will equal it for quality. It is the 
finest sauash 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 con- 
tent of any variety they have tried. It grows very 
vigorous and produces heavy crops.

strain which we have selected and developed out
