in sand and a self-pollinated 

 ation may be matured in the green 

 house before mid-winter, a technique 

 which eliminates the necessity for 

 hand pollination of great numbers of

Baby Blue averages three to four 

 pounds, a convenient weight for use 

 by the average modern small family. 



It is attractive, has a thin hard shell, 

 bright-orange, dry flesh, and keeps 

 well. Baby Blue is susceptible to 

 borers and black squash bugs, as are 

 all Maxima varieties, so it will prob- 

 ably be most appreciated in northern 

 squash-growing regions where these 

 pests are not a serious problem. 



The large, thick-walled 

 Merrimack Wonder pep- 

 per is early, very produc- 

 tive, and of iiigli quality.
