ILLINOIS HULLESS—A University of Llinois introduction. A 90 day 
corn. This variety was called to my attention by my brother, Paul 
Hepler, who was anxious for us to try it because of its high expansion 
(36) and its excellent eating quality. Our seed was grown in Hollis, 
New Hampshire by Hardy and Son. We would advise that vou plant 
it in late May and we are not recommending it for central and north- 
ern New Hampshire or corresponding areas. Pkt. 20 cts.; % lb. 35 cts.;

SQUASH 
BABY BLUE—A UNH introduction. This squash is a cross between 
Blue Hubbard and Bush Buttercup. It has the color of the Blue Hub- 
bard and the quality of the Buttercup squash. It has a thick, deep 
vellow, dry flesh and high sugar content. In my opinion it has the high- 
est quality of all winter squash. The plant is small, being semi bush. 
The squash weigh from 3 to 5 Ibs. and are very solid. The size of this 
squash makes it ideal for the roadside stand or the home gardener. 
We run cooking tests on the best of our squash each vear to ate only 
the highest quality squashes of a desired type for stock seed. In this 
way we keep the best characteristics of the squash and improve on 
others. If you like a dry winter squash for baking, Baby Blue is it.
