*GILL’S GOLDEN DELICIOUS (See front cover) 
—We take great pride in offering this remarkable 
squash of our own origin. We have not found any 
variety that will eaual 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 con- 
tent of any variety they have tried. It grows very 
vigorous and produces heavy crops. 
*UMATILLA MARBLEHEAD (New)—This strain 
was selected by the Eastern Oregon Experiment 
Station for resistance to blight. It is very uniform 
in shape and color and a very heavy producer of 
large, thick meated squashes. The meat is golden 
yellow and of fine quality. The squash are rather 
oblong and often weigh 30 to 40 pounds each. The 
seed are yellow brown. Seed scarce and offered in 
packets only at 15c each. 
*GILL’S GOLDEN TABLE QUEEN —A golden 
strain which we have selected and developed out 
of Table Queen. Thicker meated, better quality 
and more attractive for table use when baked. 
Also delicious used as a summer squash when the 
fruits are 2” to 23” long. Try this new squash. 
CHICAGO WARTY HUBBARD—Similar to True 
Hubbard except for the warty covered exterior. 
Very productive and fine quality. 
*ROUND HUBBARD (New)—We introduce for 
the first time this roundish type of Hubbard. It is 
not a true round shape but looks like an enlarged 
Baby Hubbard. It matures earlier than True Hub- 
bard and averages about 10 to 15 pounds each. The 
meat is very thick and of deeper orange color than 
the old types of Hubbard. The quality is extra 
good. It is quite free from the green tint next to 
the rind. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 4 Ib. 85c; Ib. $2.50. 
*TABLE QUEEN or ACORN—A miniature squash 
growing about 7% inches long and 4 to 5 inches 
thick. Thin shelled; dark green; early maturing. 
Desirable for home and market garden, also for 
shipping. True seed of our own growing. 
*GENEVA DELICATA—Color cream, mottled and 
striped with green. A larger and more prolific 
strain of this popular squash developed at New 
York Exp. Station. Very attractive, and excellent 
quality. Recommended for home and market. 
DELICIOUS—An extra sweet, fine-grained, dry 
cooking squash. Medium size, top shaped with 
greenish-black skin; flesh very thick, orange col- 
ored with small seed cavity. 
*BANANA (See front cover)—This squash is in 
great demand and we have a very fine strain. The 
exterior of the skin is grayish-green color, while 
the meat is a rich orange. The average size is 
from twenty-four to thirty inches in length and 
six inches in diameter. It is claimed to be re- 
sistant to blight. 
RED BANANA (See front cover)—Same as above 
except the skin is reddish orange. 
*TRUE HUBBARD (See front cover)—Selected 
strain, and while we do not consider it equal to 
Delicious in flavor, it is a heavier yielder and better 
kuown in the market. We have a true stock of seed 
car2fully selected for color, shape, and quality. 
*YAKIMA MARBLEHEAD (See front cover)— 
Large slate colored variety of fine quality. It pro- 
duces heavy yields of thick meated squash. Popu- 
lar shipping variety.
