Summer Varieties 
GIANT SUMMER CROOKNECK. Golden yellow, best quality. 18 to 
24 inches long. Command an extra price in market. 
GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK. Latest introduction in summer 
Squash. Identical to Giant Summer Crookneck, only this is truly a 
straight Squash, making it nicer shape for shipping. 
ai arden WHITE BUSH. Scalloped pure white, good, early, and 
prolific. 
ITALIAN COCOZELLE OR GREEN BUSH MARROW SQUASH. 
This is the very best of all the vegetable marrow Squashes and 
we think a trial of it in your garden will assure you that this vari- 
ety is worthy of mention. 
Fall and Winter Varieties 
DELICIOUS. This variety comes from an experiment to improve on 
the old Hubbard. It cooks dry and tender with a rich flavor. Skin 
dark green and flesh dark orange or brick color. Ripens in early 
fall and lasts all winter; good for the market grower. 
GOLDEN HUBBARD. Same as Select Hubbard, only golden color 
instead of green. Slightly smaller and earlier. 
SELECT HUBBARD. Claims to produce more than the old Hubbard, 
very similar. Really the best winter Squash for use. 
BLUE HUBBARD (110 days). A third larger than Chicago Warted 
and more prolific. We believe that it is superior in yield, quality, 
size and keeping. The blue-gray shell is more attractive and many 
prefer it. 
TABLE QUEEN (80 days). 6 to 7 inches long, 4 to 5 inches thick, 
the shell a smooth dark green with sometimes a blotch of red at 
the pointed end; the productiveness and eating quality second to,

Gentlemen: 
The order came in fine shape and I want to thank you for 
the fine fruit trees. I consider them worth double the money 
I paid for them. I need more fruit trees, so you will hear 
from me again.
