remarkable freedom. Seed cavities small; flesh
fine-grained; surface color, orange splashed with
green. Properly stored they keep well into the
winter. Price, 10c. oz., 30c. \ lb., $1.00 lb.

HUBBARD. (Henderson's Superior Strain.) This
old and popular favorite is still one of the very
best winter squashes grown; flesh deep golden-
yellow and fine-grained, and whether boiled,
steamed or baked, it is always richly flavored,
sweet and dry. The vines are strong, luxuriant
in growth and very productive, yielding large,
heavy fruits of dark bluish-green color, weigh-
ing often 10 to 25 lbs. each. Properly stored
it may be kept from September to May. Price,

strain of the famous Hubbard, retaining all the
excellent features of the parent. It has thicker
flesh, finer color, greater size, better constitution
and productiveness. It has an extremely hard
rough or warty shell which not only indicates su-
perior quality, but renders it one of the best
winter keepers. .See cut.) Price, 15c. oz., 35c.

HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND
WHITE BUSH.
The white scalloped "Patty Pan"
or " Cymling " has for years been
a favorite summer Squash, on ac-
count of its earliness, etc., but
this new sort is a vast improve-
ment; it is nearly as early, more
prolific and the fruits are much
deeper, and have less prominent
scallops, consequently are easier
prepared, contain less waste and
almost twice the amount of flesh,
which is also of finer quality. The
plants are of the true bush habit.
