Brazil Sugar Squash
This distinct, new variety for summer and autumn use, is the richest flavored and sweetest of all squashes. It is liked for table use in every stage of its growth. During the months of August, September and October, it has no equal. It is enormously productive. A single plant has yielded as many as twelve perfectly ripened squashes. They weight from two to four pounds each; measuring six to eight inches in length and from four to six inches in thickness. The skin is a beautiful canary color, and generally handsomely warted. The flesh is also yellow, slightly tinged with green. The vines grow so rapidly that they are but little liable to injury from the striped bug. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; lb., $1.00
