“NEW GOLDEN PIPPIN (See back 
cover)—Another fine new squash by 
Gill Bros. Seed Co. All seedmen know 
how hard it is to develop and fix the 
type on a new variety of squash. We 
have worked on this variety for ten years 
and the shape is not completely fixed 
yet, but color and quality are well estab- 
lished. The heavy meated little squash 
are ideal to serve. Bake and serve one- 
half squash to each person. The average 
weight is about 1% to 1% pounds, and 
they average 3% to 4 inches in diameter 
and 4% to 5% inches long. The flesh is 
deep yellow, fine grained and of mild, 
sweet flavor. The flavor is much milder 
than the Table Queen varieties. When 
fully ripe they are good keepers and are 
also ideal used as a Summer squash when 
picked in the young stage of about 2 
inches in diameter. In this stage they 
are nearly white in color. Ideal for home 
use and destined to become a popular 
market variety. Don’t miss this fine new 
squash. Pkt. 20c; % oz. 40c; oz. 75c; 
\ Ib. $2.25. 
*SWEET MEAT—Reports are coming 
from all over the Nation commending 
this new squash. Many report it as the 
best squash yet introduced. We have 
no hesitation about featuring this new 
squash, Its name tells part of the story, 
for it is the sweetest squash we have ever 
seen and it is also the longest keeper. We 
kept six squash in good edible condition 
from crop to crop. The texture of the 
meat is very fine grained and as sweet 
as the finest sweet potato. The meat is 
very thick, making a squash surprisingly 
heavy. They are not very large, being of 
a good family size, and averaging about 
8 to 12 pounds each. They are shaped like 
the turban type but the indentation or 
knob at the blossom end is smaller than 
most of the turban type. The color is 
slate with slight greenish cast. The vari- 
ety is well fixed in type. 
An unusual feature is its long keeping 
qualities and also the fact the flavor and 
sweetness increase with age for at least 
six months from harvest. It is a very 
vigorous grower and unusually free from 
disease. The squash are very uniform in 
size, color and shape. We have received 
more recommendations for this than for 
any variety we ever handled. Its high 
quality is winning great favor all over 
the nation. Pkt. 15c; 4% oz. 30c; oz. 50c; 
% Ib. $1.35; lb. $3.50. 
ORANGE BANANA (New) —A deep 
orange red. Large, long squash of fin- 
est quality. A long keeper. Very attrac- 
tive. Pkt. 15c; oz. 40c; 4 Ib. $1.00; Ib. $3.00. 
New Sauash, Sweet Meat 
*GILL’S GOLDEN DELICIOUS — We 
, take great pride in offering this remark- 
able squash of our own origin. This va- 
riety and Sweet Meat excel for quality. | 
However, these two varieties have differ- 
ent flavors. It is the finest squash for pie, 
and when picked young as a summer 
squash its quality is outstanding. The 
flesh and skin are a rich golden orange 
with no trace of green near the rind. 
The flesh is two to three inches thick. 
It cooks extra dry, fine grained and 
sweet. Many of our friends say, “It is 
better than a sweet potato.” The skin is 
thin without a hard shell, but it is a fine 
keeper for winter use. On account of its 
high quality and attractive color, it has 
created a sensation with canners and 
freezers and those who tested it claim it 
has the highest starch content of any 
variety they have tried. It grows very 
vigorously and produces heavy crops. We 
are continually improving this variety. 
*UMATILLA MARBLEHEAD—Select- 
ed by the Eastern Oregon Experiment 
Station for resistance to blight. It is very 
uniform in shape and color and a very 
heavy producer of large, thick meated 
squash. The meat is golden yellow and 
of fine quality. The squash are rather ob- 
long and often weigh 30 to 40 lbs. each. 
The seeds are yellow brown. Seed crop 
very short. Postpaid. Pkt. 15c; oz. 45c; 
\ Ib. $1.25; Ib. $3.50. 
*BLUE HUBBARD—Superior quality, 
great production and attractive appear- 
ance make this a favorite, especially in 
New England. Thick flesh; very hard 
blue-gray rind, weight 12 to 15 pounds. 
GOLDEN HUBBARD — Orange red 
Hubbard type but earlier and smaller; 
fine quality.
