Buttercup Squash
Originated in North Dakota by Prof. A. F. Yeager. The squashes weigh between 3 and 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., 10c; oz., 25c; 1/4lb., 75c; 1/2lb., $1.35; 1lb., $2.50, postpaid.

Buttercup Squash
A new type of Winter Squash of splendid quality which was developed at the North Dakota Experiment Station. Buttercup is just the right size for the average family as the fruit weighs from 3 to 5 lbs. The outside color is dark green like Hubbard and the flesh is a rich orange, untinged with green. The shape is nearly that of the small sugar pumpkin except the top and bottom surface is flattened instead of rounded. The texture of the flesh is smooth and the flavor is mild like a sweet potato. They cook dry and mealy without strings or fiber so there is little waste. Of all the varieties of Squash which we grew on our Trial Grounds last season, Buttercup was the finest flavored and the best quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; ¼ lb., 60c; lb., $2.00, prepaid.
