pear shaped with curved neck and _ heavily 
warted, with medium yellow color, becoming 
orange-yellow when mature.

long with a diameter of 2% inches. While 
light yellow in the first edible stages it be- 
comes a deep golden yellow at maturity. The 
fe is delicious, creamy yellow and quite 
irm. 
MAMMOTH WHITE BUSH SCALLOP— 
Fruit from our strain measures 9 to 11 inches 
in diameter, of creamy white color and fine 
for table use or market. 
WHITE BUSH SCALLOP (Patty Pan), 50

fruits when young, becoming white as they 
mature; is somewhat pie-shaped with scal- 
loped edges, 3 inches long, 7% inches in 
diameter. 
YELLOW BUSH SCALLOP, 54 Days—lIs 
similar to the’ White Bush, except in color, 
being a golden yellow. Is of the Patty Pan 
type, sometimes called Golden Custard. 
AUTUMN AND WINTER SORTS 
BANANA, 105 Days—Fruits cylindrical, 
24 inches long and 6 inches through, color 
light gray, flesh fine grained, yellow-orange, 
of delicious flavor. 
_ BANANA PINK—Much the same descrip- 
tion but colored deep pink. 
DELICIOUS—Produces dark green fruit of 
medium size, weighing 5 to 10 pounds. Flesh 
is fine grained, of superb quality, tasty and a 
good keeper. To many, DELICIOUS is the 
finest flavored of all the winter squashes. 
DELICIOUS GOLDEN—Same as Green 
Delicious except the deep orange color of its 
skin. 
TABLE QUEEN (Des Moines, Acorn), 58 
Days—Very prolific and popular for all mar- 
ket purposes. Fruits pointed acorn shaped 
51% inches long, 4 inches through and dark 
green, flesh is light yellow. 
BLUE HUBBARD, 110 Days — Much the 
same as the original type of improved Hub- 
bard except its bluish gray shell. 
GOLDEN or RED HUBBARD—We think 
this strain is more prolific and earlier than 
the regular HUBBARD. Has glossy warted 
orange-yellow skin, which turns to a salmon 
red at maturity. Fruits weigh 10 to 12 pounds, 
and keep well. Canners prefer this sort. Flesh 
is deep golden yellow. Vines often ripen 5 to 
6 of these large fruits. 
HUBBARD IMPROVED (Green Hubbard) 
—Our strain is superior. Fruits are pointed 
at both ends, being somewhat warted, large, 
with dark bronze green skin. Flesh is orange- 
yellow, dry sweet and thick. A splendid keep- 
er and of top-notch quality, weighing 10 to 
12 pounds. 
WARTY HUBBARD—Or the same type as 
the regular Hubbard but the shell is more 
heavily warted and is slightly larger than the 
true Hubbard. Weighs 14 pounds. Our strain 
is an improvement of the old Warty Hubbard.
