SQUASHES. ©peife^iirbijj. Mammoth. Chili Squash. Early Golden Summer Crookneck. The richest and best sort for summer; very early and productive. Small, crook- necked, covered with warty excrescences (the more warty the better) ; color light yellow ; shell very hard when ripe. Used only when young; and tender, which may be known by the pres- sure of the thumb nail through the rind. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts. Early Prolific Orange Marrow. Ripens two weeks ahead of Boston Marrow, and excels it in productiveness and keeping qualities. Of very handsome orange-red color ; medium in size, sweet, with thick, high-colored orange flesh, fine grained and dry when cooked. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts. Early Yellow Bush Scalloped. Early, flat, deep orange, with smooth rind; used when young and tender, for boiling. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts. Essex Hybrid.

Pall or Winter Crookneck. The kind most generally culti- vated in New England for fall and winter ; neck long, solid, pale yellow —the deeper the color the better.

The flesh is deep orange-yellow, sweet, dry, delicious for pies; cavity very small, seeds few. Uncooked it appears to have a shell like any Squash ; when cooked there is practically none, the inedible part being only about as thick as a sheet of paper. It ma
