BUTTERNUT. Now at the top of the list of winter squashes 
for home use. The vines are prolific and highly resistant to 
borers. The fruits are of handy size, excellent flavor, and 
smooth texture. The smooth thin rinds are hard enough 
to stand shipping and storage, and easy for the housewife 
to peel. We offer a particularly thick-necked strain of Butter- 
nut, which has become the preferred type among market 
growers in most areas.
