This is the “Jumbo” of the Squash family. It is an extra large-fruited sort, quite distinct in form and appearance. The squashes grow from two and half to three feet in length, with a slight neck at the stem end. The large seed end is swelled to a width of twelve to eighteen inches and slightly flattened, giving a most distinct appearance which suggests the name “Mammoth Whale.” the skin is of a dark-olive green, with slight stripes of a lighter tinge. The fruits frequently attain more than one hundred pounds in weight. Flesh firm and solid, of beautiful orange-yellow and excellent quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; ¼ lb., 50c; lb., $1.75; postpaid.
