FALL AND WINTER SQUASH 
A packet of seed of winter varieties will plant 3 to 4 hills; an ounce 15 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. of seed per acre. 
These varieties have very large running vines and should be planted in hills 6 to 8 feet apart each way. The vines often extend 20 feet in all direc- 
tions, although they may be trained to grow in a narrower row. Working manure or fertilizer into the soil around the hill will greatly improve the 
crop. Plant in May or early June, after danger of frost is past. For control of bugs and vine borers, dust with ROTENONE (see page 82.) 
815 ROYAL ACORN. (Mammoth Table Queen.) Many 
people have wanted a larger sized squash 
of Table Queen or Acorn type, and this new strain fills the bill. The 
fruits have the same shape and fine dark green color as the popular 
small Table Queen, but these are considerably larger, measuring 6 to 
7 in. long and 5 in. across. The flesh is thick and excellent for baking, 
and the vines are strong, hardy and productive. We recommend this 
new large strain most highly, both for home and market. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 4 Lb. 80c; % Lb. $1.25. 
820 TABLE QUEEN. The Individual Squash. Also known as 
Acorn, Des Moines and Queen Ann. 
This handsome little squash is highly popular for individual baking 
because of its fine quality. 
The fruit is dark green, 4 to 5 in. long and 4 in. in diameter, deeply 
ribbed and with a smooth hard shell. It is of a very convenient size for 
baking and serving in the shell. The flesh is deep yellow, sweet, of fine 
flavor, dry and free from stringiness. The squash will keep all winter 
and should be allowed to ripen thoroughly before using. This strain is 
very uniform in size, type and color. 
The vines are of the “runner type” and very prolific, producing great 
numbers of these fine squash.

770 BLUE HUBBARD. Harris’ Special Strain. If you want the 
finest extra large squash, plant Harris’ 
Blue Hubbard. Developed and grown by ourselves, this heayy-yielding 
strain is in a class by itself. It is the truest, most uniform stock grown, 
and is well known and liked by leading growers in New England and 
other sections where large squash are wanted. 
The fruit is attractive blue gray color, rough and rugged, and grows 
to enormous size. The shape is shown in the photograph above. The 
flesh is thick, of deep yellow color and of fine flavor and texture. 
This squash is a very profitable farm crop as there is always a great 
demand for these large fine squash, especially on Eastern markets. 
It is also good to raise in the garden because of its heavy yield and 
excellent storage qualities.

780 DELICIOUS. For Fine Flavor. This is one of the finest 
flavored winter squash we know. It is rich and 
sweet and so dry and fine grained that it resembles a good sweet 
potato. The fruit has a dark green shell with bright orange flesh. It is 
of medium size and very attractive pointed shape, not as large as 
Hubbard but very heavy. This has long been a favorite home garden 
kind and one of the best of the smaller high quality squash which 
present day markets prefer. It is a good keeper in storage and also 
adapted for freezing.

792 GOLDEN DELICIOUS. Large, Heavy Yielding Strain. Re- 
sembles the green Delicious in shape, but our strain grows larger, with 
extra thick, deep orange flesh of unexcelled quality. The outside is 
bright orange and the fine grained, moderately dry flesh is just right 
for pies, baking, boiling, ete. Widely grown commercially for canning 
and freezing, and very profitable for stands and markets where orange 
squash are popular.

810 QUALITY SQUASH. Fine Grained and Sweet. A favor- 
ite of ours for many years, this winter 
squash is noted for its supreme quality. The outside skin is dark green, 
thin and hard, protecting the thick, orange-colored flesh, which is 
sweeter and finer flavored than other kinds and cooks as dry as a good 
sweet potato. Fine textured and without stringiness, the fruit is me- 
dium size (5-10 Ibs.) convenient for family use. The vines are strong 
and healthy and produce excellent crops. 
Quality squash are excellent for the home garden as they can be 
easily stored to eat in the winter. It is also one of the best medium- 
sized squash for the commercial grower, especially for modern markets 
where high quality is appreciated.
