A packet of seed of winter varieties will plant 5 or 6 hills; 
an ounce 20 hills; 3 to 4 Ibs. of seed per acre. 
All these squash except Uconn have large running vines and do best if given plenty of space. Plant in hills 6 to 8 feet apart each way. Work- 
ing well-rotted manure or fertilizer into the soil will greatly improve the crop. Plant in May or early June after danger of frost is past. For con- 
trol of bugs and vine borers, use ROTENONE DUST, GARDEN DUST OR SPRAY, or spray with ZERLATE plus ROTENONE or MALATHON. See page 80. 
774 BUTTERNUT. Thick Meat of Wonderful Flavor. 
95 days. Our most popular winter squash, Butternut is an exceptionally 
meaty variety of the very finest quality. The thick necks are solid 
flesh, sweet and dry, easy to prepare for the table and delicious for 
baking and pies. The outside is smooth with a thin tan skin. 
Butternut is resistant to squash vine borers and is a good keeper 
although it ripens very early. Our superior strain is well known for its 
heavy yields of uniform thick-meated squash of finest type. See photo 
on page 4. Pkt. 20c; 4% Oz. 35c; Oz. 65c; 14 Lb. $1.65; 14 Lb. $2.75. 
770 BLUE HUBBARD. Harris’ Special Strain. 
110 days. Developed and grown by us, this extra large, heavy-yielding 
strain is the truest, most uniform stock we know. The fruit is an at- 
tractive blue gray color, rough and rugged, and grows to enormous size. 
The flesh is thick, of deep yellow color and fine flavor and texture. 
This is a very profitable farm crop as there is always a demand for 
these large fine squash. It is also good to raise in the garden because 
of its heavy yield and excellent storage qualities.

warted and flattened at the ends with a distinctive button. A true 
well-bred strain of our own growing. Keeps all winter.

810 QUALITY. Fine-Grained, Dry and Sweet. 
103 days. Harris’ favorite for many years, this squash is preferred for 
its extra thick meat of supreme quality. Its attractive heart shape 
means deeper flesh at the shoulders and the seed cavity is small. Dark 
olive green with a thin, hard rind, it has deep orange-colored flesh, 
so rich, sweet, dry and fine-grained that it resembles a good sweet 
potato. The fruit are medium sized (5 to 10 lbs.), just right for family 
use, and the healthy vines produce excellent crops. A good keeper, 
Quality is wonderful for the home garden, and one of the best varieties 
for market. Pkt. 15c;.Oz. 45c; 14 Lb. $1.10; 44 Lb. $1.60.

103 days. A popular garden and market variety. The medium-sized, 
dark green fruit have an attractive pointed shape and the thick orange

792 GOLDEN DELICIOUS. Large, Heavy Yielding Strain. 103 days. This 
bright orange squash grows larger and longer than the green Delicious

fine orange squash that we can recommend.

Buttercup — You will find this the best eating of all. 
773 BUTTERCUP. Finest Quality—Thick Flesh. 
100 days. All that you could ask for in a small winter squash—extra 
fine flavor and thick dry flesh of very smooth texture, entirely free of 
stringiness. The shape is unique, rather flattened with a “‘button’’ on 
the end, and the inside is almost completely filled with deep orange 
meat. Just the right size for a family, and an excellent kind for freezing, | 
besides being a good keeper in storage. So many people consider this | 
the most delicious squash that Buttercup is a leader for home gardens 
and roadside stands. Pkt. 15c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.35; 144 Lb. $2.00. 
772 BOSTON MARROW. For Pies. 100 days. A new strain of a fine old
