UNUSUAL VARIATION IN CROOK-NECK SQUASH 



In the spring of 1916 I planted seed of the "scallop" and of the "crook-neck" 

 squash (without warts), in the same bed. The fruit was the same as the original. 

 I reserved for seed one of the "crook-neck" which I planted this spring. The 

 result was surprising. The forms and general characters were very diverse, as 

 may be seen above, which shows a few of the various shapes. Some were 

 smooth, while others had warts. The colors varied from white and light grey 

 to yellow and orange. (Fig. 7.)
