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. 
All these squash except Uconn have large running vines and do best if given plenty of space. Plant in hills 6 to 8 feet apart each way. Working 
well-rotted manure or fertilizer into the soil 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.) 
774 BUTTERNUT. The Popular Favorite. Of ideal size and 
attractive shape, Butternut is practically all 
meat. The orange flesh is dry, sweet, fine textured with excellent 
flavor for baking and pies. Very early and a heavy yielder. See 
photo and full description on page 6.

770 BLUE HUBBARD. Harris’ Special Strain. If you want 
the finest extra large squash, plant 
Harris’ Blue Hubbard. Developed and grown by ourselves, this 
heavy-yielding strain is in a class by itself. It is the truest, most uni- 
form 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. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 45c; 144 Lb. $1.20; 144 Lb. $1.75.

Uconn—New bush acorn, a real benefit where space is limited. 

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. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 144 Lb. 95c; % Lb. $1.50. 
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, etc. Widely grown commercially for 
canning and freezing, and very profitable for stands and markets 
where orange squash are popular.

821 UCONN. (New). All-America Gold Medal for 1950. No 
garden is too small to grow some of these delicious 
early Table Queen squash. The vines are bushy and compact and can 
be planted close together, yet the yields of fine squash are excellent.

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.

815 ROYAL ACORN. (Mammoth Table Queen.) For market 
growers and also for home use, these “‘king-size’” Acorn Squash are 
just what is wanted. The fruits have the same ridged shape and fine 
dark green color as the popular small Table Queen but are larger, 
measuring 6 to 7 inches long and 5 inches across. The flesh is thick 
and excellent for baking and they keep well in storage. By far the 
most popular with commercial growers because of its big yields of 
uniform squash. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 80c; 144 Lb. $1.25.
