WINTER SQUASH 
Nothing much better in the vegetable way than a baked 
Winter Squash, deep-meated, dry, rich flavored, near sugar- 
sweet, served hot with a spot of butter melting into it. 
Keep Winter Squashes in a dry warm place and you can 
store them for months. 
565 DELICIOUS—Fruits medium size, about 7 lbs., with 
smooth, dark green skin. Flavor particularly good, fully as 
sweet and rich as Hubbard, and the orange meat is drier 
and thicker. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 20c; %4 Ib. T5c. 
561 TRUE HUBBARD—tThe original Hubbard, a Squash of 
excellent quality. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 20ce. 
566 CHICAGO HUBBARD—In table quality there averages 
no better Winter Squash, thick, fine-grained meat, rich, 
dry, sugary. Rough, hard, olive-green shell; flesh deep 
orange. A long keeper, well-ripened. Illustrated above. 
Pkt. 10¢c; 1 oz. 20c; 4 lb. T5c. 
567 BLUE HUBBARD—Attractive blue-gray fruits a_ bit 
larger and harder-shelled than in the other Hubbards, but 
of same sweet, rich, dry quality. Heavy yielder; splendid 
keeper. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 20c; % Ib. T5c. 
560 BOSTON MARROW—Earlier than the others and will 
do better in warm positions and on light soils. Much used 
for pies and for canning, but good baked, too. Definitely a 
Squash, though in certain areas it is called Pumpkin. Pkt. 
10¢; 1-0z. 20c3 44 lb: 75e;46 lh- $1.35; 
TOMATO 
Seed should be sown early, under glass. This may mean 
just in a box in a sunny window, or in a frame or green- 
house. Tomatoes are so easy that about the only hard thing 
in their culture would be to fail with them. 
596 RUTGERS, CERTIFIED—A particularly fine all-pur- 
pose Tomato, ‘disease-resistant, a sure, heavy yielder. Fruits 
globe-shaped, altogether smooth, bright red, uniform and 
even in appearance and quality, that quality always of the 
best. No better canner. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 35c; 1 oz. 65c;

571 FARTHEST NORTH—Earliest variety we have tested, 
perhaps earliest of all Tomatoes. Plants, low and compact, 
bear great quantities of small to medium-size bright red 
fruits. Compared with Earliana, fruits are quite a bit 
smaller, but bulk of them ripen much earlier, and total 
eventual weight of fruit is likely about the same. Very like 
Earliana in flavor and quality. Pkt. 15c; 3 pkts. for 40c. 
575 EARLIANA—Decidedly early and a good yielder. Fruits 
smooth, very good size, fairly solid, a bit on the tart side, 
but nevertheless of very agreeable flavor. Pkt. 10c; % 
oz. 80c; 1 oz. 55¢; %4 Ib. $1.90. 
578 CHALK’S JEWEL—FExcellent second-early that we pre- 
fer to Bonny Best. Large, nearly round, scarlet fruits; 
solid, meaty, sweet. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; 1 oz. 40c. 
580 MARGLOBE, CERTIFIED—Big, smooth fruits, red all 
through, solid, sweet, luscious. Disease-resistant maincrop 
sort, widely grown, and of well-deserved popularity. Pkt. 
15e;-14 oz. 35c3; 1 oz. 65c; % Ib. $2.25. 
582 PONDEROSA—Probably largest of all Tomatoes, ex- 
ceedingly solid and meaty. Quality is superb, mild, partic- 
ularly sweet. Deep pink. A late sort, start it early. Pkt. 
15e; 4%% oz. 35¢e; 1 oz. 65c. 
579 MATCHLESS—We consider this the best of the larger- 
fruited main-crop varieties. A sturdy grower and long 
bearer, vines loaded with big, solid, smooth fruits of rich 
scarlet in the most attractive Tomato form. Quality very 
good, sweet, with just enough sub-acidity for piquancy. Pkt. 
10c; 1% oz. 25e; 1 oz. 45c; % Ib. $1.45. 
579 PRITCHARD—Scarlet Topper. A bright red, disease- 
resistant sort of high quality, developed for use on rich 
soils where other varieties give more vine than fruit. 
Good, though, under other conditions, too. Pkt. 15¢; % oz. 
30¢; 1 oz. 50c. 
581 DWARF STONE—Large, smooth, cushion-shaped fruits 
of even deep red, solid and heavy. Quality very good. A 
“tree”? Tomato, plants short-jointed, sturdy, upright, need- 
ing no support and taking up less space per plant than 
do other sorts. Pkt. lbc; % oz. 35c; 1 oz. 60c. 
598 OXHEART—An extra-large maincrop variety, fruits 
have been grown to over two pounds of weight. They are 
exceedingly solid, red-toned pink in color, deepest in stem 
to blossom end diameter. Table quality very good. Pkt. 
15c; 3 pkts. for 40c. 
575 JUBILEE—This is a variety of truly superlative merit. 
We grew it on quite a scale this year, and we are more 
enthusiastic about it now than ever before. Fruits are 
large, exceedingly smooth and uniform, true globes, prac- 
tically no stem end depression. They are extraordinarily 
solid because of this, unusually heavy. Outside color is 
deep golden tone with orange tinge, but within the fruits 
are clear deep yellow. Flavor is rich and sweet, lacking 
the acid of most other kinds. No better Tomao of any 
color, or for any Tomato use. Sliced for salad with red 
varieties it gives delightful color contrast. Juice made 
from it is pale golden amber. Classes as a mid-season 
variety, but bears over a long period. Jllustrated below. 
It doesn’t make much seed in proportion to weight of fruit. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% oz. 85c; % oz. 60c; 1 oz. $1.00.

599 ITALIAN CANNER or SAN MARZANO—Of a distinct 
type, deep, narrow, with thick, solid walls. Meat is dry, 
sweet, scarcely a trace of acidity. Deep red fruits in 
clusters, each the shape of an elongated Plum Tomato, but 
four times the size of one. Very heavy yielder, beginning 
fairly early. Valued particularly for canning whole, or for 
making tomato paste; again, the whole fruit may be 
eaten with salad dressing, or in lunches with salt. Pkt. 15c; 
% oz. 50c3; 1 oz. 90ce.

serves. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30ce.

pkts. for 40c. 
609 HUSK TOMATO—See Sweet Physalis. Pkt. 10c.
