*NEW GIANT LEAF—The largest and the most 
productive of any sort we have tried. Plants 20 
inches across are not uncommon on good soil. The 
leaves are simply immense, deep green, very 
heavy, brittle and tender. It is very slow to run 
to seed and is especially valuable for spring, sum- 
mer and fall cutting.

Giant Leaf. It has all the good characteristics of 
that variety and in addition, a darker color. Out- 
standing for home and commercial gardens. 
*IMPROVED THICK LEAF or VIROFLAY—This 
variety is very popular and we have a fine strain 
of seed. The leaves are broad and smooth and of 
medium deep green. It will stand more cold 
weather than any other sort and is very popular 
for fall sowing and early suring cutting. 
*HOLLANDIA—This giant leaved prickly seeded 
sort has become very popular with gardeners for 
spring, summer and fall cutting. Dark green, 
broad, thick leaves.

upright crumpled leaves. Slow bolting.

TAMPALA 
A new green vegetable, the leaves of which are 
used like spinach. It is so different in flavor than 
other greens it is hard to compare them. It retains 
its tenderness for a long period and is suited for 
warm weather. It can also be used as a fresh 
salad. The leaves have more body, more flavor and 
more food value than spinach. It should be planted 
in fairly warm weather. Postpaid. Pkt. 15c;

*GILL’S GOLDEN DELICIOUS—We take great 
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 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 content 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 squash. The meat is golden 
yellow and of fine quality. The squash are rather 
oblong and often weigh 30 to 40 pounds each. The 
seeds are yellow brown. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 02.35c;

ter use. 10 to 12 inches long with thick orange 
colored flesh of fine table quality. Do not confuse 
with Buttercup. Small seed cavity in one end of 
the long, pear shaped squashes. Pkt. 15c; oz. 40c; 
4 Ib. $1.25; Ib. $3.50. 
BUTTERCUP (New) —A small turban shaped 
squash weighing about 3 to 4 lbs. Rind thin and 
tough, dark green with narrow gray stripes. The 
orange flesh cooks sweet and dry. Adapted to 
home gardens; a very good keeper. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c. 
*ROUND HUBBARD—We introduced this strain 
of Round Hubbard in 1943. It is not a true round 
shape but looks like an enlarged Baby Hubbard. 
It matures earlier than True Hubbard 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. 
*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 214” long. Try this fine squash.
