Arikara
If you want the earliest large Winter Squash, the squash that will set fruit and outyield all others under drought conditions, plant the Arikara. The shell is salmon, varied with blue green; flesh orange tinged with green near the shell, of firm texture and fair quality. It is a wonderful keeper. Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c; ¼ lb., 40c; ½ lb., 70c; 1 lb., $1.25, postpaid.
Banquet
A golden squash, the result of our cross between Buttercup and Gilmore, earlier and more prolific than Buttercup with Buttercup shape, thick dry orange flesh and fine quality. We raised many tons of Banquet Squash in 1939. We're proud of this one. Pkt., 8c; oz., 18c; ¼ lb., 50c; ½ lb., 90c; 1 lb., $1.60, postpaid.
Buttercup
Originated in North Dakota by Professor A. F. Yeager. The squashes weigh between 3 to 5 pounds with thin, tough green skin. There is no fibrous section and the thick, rich orange flesh has no tinge of green. It is a good keeper with very little waste in cooking. The flavor is sweet and fine; the texture smooth and dry. A fine squash and our seed is the best obtainable. Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c; ¼ lb., 45c; ½ lb., 85c; 1 lb., $1.50, postpaid.
Dakota
Professor A. F. Yeager's cross between Table Queen and Mandan Squash. Top shaped, with dark green skin and pale orange flesh. Dakota is much earlier and more prolific than Table Queen and should be used in the same way . Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c.
Improved Hubbard
The Standard Winter Squash. More extensively grown than any other variety. The fruits are large, heavy and moderately warted. The shell is a dark bronze-green; flesh a deep orange yellow, fine grained, dry and sweet. Its quality is the standard of excellence. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; ¼ lb., 30c; ½ lb., 58c; 1 lb., $1.00, postpaid.
Red or Golden Hubbard
Similar to Improved Hubbard except for its orange-red color, but slightly smaller and decidedly earlier. The flesh is deep orange, dry and of splendid quality. A superior table variety and an excellent keeper, this is a fine variety for the home garden. Pkt. 5C; oz., 13c; ¼ lb., 35c; ½ lb., 65c; 1 lb., $1.10, postpaid.
Winnebago
One of the very best of squashes. The squash is long, greenish black in color, and a good keeper. The bright orange flesh is thick, very dry and sweet and less stringy than almost any other squash. Under normal conditions many Winnebago Squash will weigh over 30 lbs. Pkt., 8c; oz., 18c..
