Butternut. A splendid new winter Squash, whose medium size fruits are of a 
yellowish brown color and bottle-shaped. Outer shell is smooth and hard. Flesh is 
clear yellow, fine textured, dry, sweet, and of very excellent flavor. An unusually 
large proportion of this Squash is edible as the seed cavity is so small. Gardeners tell 
us that the vines are very seldom bothered by the Squash borer.
