SQUASH—Continued 
*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.

SEEDS SMALL PART OF COST 
Why prepare and cultivate a garden with 
the cheapest seed? A few cents additional 
in cost of seed may spell the difference 
between success and failure. Our vegetable 
seeds are very popular with market gar- 
deners. Cheap seeds are usually dear at any 
cost. Yet, with all, our prices are reasonable 
and still maintain quality.
