773 BUTTERCUP. Finest Quality—Thick Flesh. All that you 

could ask for in a small winter squash—extra 
fine flavor and thick dry flesh of very smooth texture, entirely free of 
stringiness. The shape is unique, rather flattened with a “button” on 
the end, and the inside is nearly all meat. Just the right size for a 
family, and an excellent kind for freezing, beside being a good 
keeper in storage. So many people have discovered that these are the 
most delicious squash to grow that Buttercup has become a leader for 
home gardens and roadside stands.

for pies, baking, boiling, etc. Widely grown commercially for canning

774 BUTTERNUT, This attractive, high 

most popular for home use and markets in 
the Northeast. [t is a prolific yielder, even on 
poorer soils and it has an unusual shape, 
with a long thick neck that is all solid meat. 
The light brown skin is very thin and house- 
wives find these convenient size squash much 
easier to prepare for the table than other 
kinds. For baking and for pies the dry sweet 
yellow flesh is most delicious. Growers report 
that Butternut is resistant to squash vine 
borers and we find that it not only ripens 
early but keeps well into the winter. Be sure 
lo try Butternut this year.

summer if the fruit are kept picked off as soon as they are ready to use. 
More fruit come on and you can haye a continuous supply right up until 
frost. All types of summer squash, cocozelle, etc., are much better to eat 
if they are used when they are still young and tender.

795 HARRIS’ IMPROVED COCOZELLE. aa ts 
“Vegetable Marrow’’ Squash. These squash are a delightful surprise 
to those who have never had them. They have a distinct, delicate, 
almost meaty taste that is much more delicious than any other summer 
squash. To be at their best, they should be picked when young, not 
over 10 to 12 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. At this stage, they 
are most tasty and have a wonderful flavor, especially if sliced thinly 
and fried in batter or deep fat. r 
The vines are easily grown, compact and bushy in growth so they do 
not take up much space. The fruits are very attractive—long, straight 
and slender, with a dark green base color and stripes of lighter green. 
Our strain has been developed and grown exclusively by us and is much 
superior to all other strains.
