*GILL’S GOLDEN DELICIOUS — We 
take great pride in offering this remark- 
able squash of our own origin. This va- 
riety with Sugar Hubbard and Sweet 
Meat excel for quality. However, these 
three varieties have different 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 qual- 
ity and attractive color, it has created a 
sensation with canners and freezers and 
those who tested it claim it has the high- 
est starch content of any variety they 
have tried. It grows very vigorously and 
produces heavy crops. We are continu- 
ally improving this variety.
