licious flavor.

of all Hubbards. The skin is dark green and 
rough. The flesh is thick orange colored and 
very excellent in quality. For many years it 
has been one of the standard market sorts 
and probably will remain one of the biggest 
sellers of any squash.

type but earlier and smaller. Very fine qual- 
ity. 
MARBLEHEAD. This is one of the best of 
the commercial sorts. It resembles the Green

mer squash when the fruits are 2% to 3 inches 
long.

selection out of Table Queen. Average 2 to 3 
inches longer and an inch broader than the

licious fried as well as cooked in other ways. 
Sunflower 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN. Sunflower was at one 
time raised extensively for poultry food and

main use as a stock food. Many dairymen find 
it excellent for silos either alone or mixed 
with field corn. Pkt. 10c; 4 Ib. 20c; 1 Ib. 50c; 
5 Ibs. @ 45c per Ib. 
Tampala 
Tampala is so different in flavor to other veg- 
etables used as ‘‘greens’’ that it is difficult to 
compare it to any of them. The leaves are 
cooked, prepared and served like spinach, but 
it is better than spinach in many respects. Its 
flavor is less irony and less puckery than 
spinach. 
Sow seed outdoors any time after the ground 
becomes warm. Space rows 2 ft. apart and thin
