Patagonian Squash 



The members of the squash tribe are readily fertilized, 



as illustrated in earlier pictures of this volume, but the hybrids 



tend to show extreme variation, and they are very difficult to hx. Mr. 



Burbank has shown, however, that it is not impossible to fix 



new varieties by careful selective breeding. The squash 



here shown was developed from seed sent from 



South America. It has almost the solidity 



and weight of a cannon ball.
