Pennsylvania. Pkt $2.50<br />

squash. This flattened, round, 10-15 lb fruit has gorgeous,<br />
salmon/peach-colored skin covered with large warts! The<br />
deep orange flesh is flavorful, smooth and sweet, making<br />
it good for baking. It’s also popular among the French for<br />
making soup. This is one of the tastiest squash I have tried,<br />
and we are delighted to offer this French heirloom. Pkt $2.50<br />

great for fall decorations. Pkt (15 seeds) $2.25<br />

orange. This variety was introduced by Gill Bros. Seed Co., of<br />
Portland, Oregon, in 1926. Pkt $2.25<br />

(C. maxima) Also called ‘Genesee Red Hubbard’ and was<br />
introduced in 1898. The 12-lb red fruit are teardrop-shaped,<br />
brilliant red and lightly warted, making this the most beautiful<br />
of the Hubbard types. The flesh is very thick, sweet and orange<br />
with a fine old-fashioned squash flavor. This is an excellent<br />

GREEK SWEET RED #SQ166<br />
