Bush Fordhook Squash. J? tb , is t new t™ bush type 



^ the plants can be grown much 



more closely together. The fruits are rather shorter and 

 thicker than those of the running type; they are also 

 thicker fleshed and have a smaller seed cavity. Our Ford- 

 hook Squash is about a w«ek later than the Early White 

 Bush, but is much sweete' and better flavored. An Impor- 

 tant advantage is that ar.y fruits not needed for summer 

 use can be left to ripen on the plants and gathered for 

 winter use. They are unsurpassed for baking, frying, or 

 making pies; while stored in a dry place they will keep in 

 good condition until the following June. Pkt. 5c: y. lb.
