A straightneck Golden Summer Crookneck (60 days)

 pack nicely for shipment in either hampers or crates because of the straight 

 neck. They arrive at the market in good condition, and with no "broken necks" 

 as is often the case with the Crookneck variety, its parent. Another good point 

 which will commend "Straightneck" to all housewives is that it is so much

646 Connecticut Straightneck (55 days) 



An improved and true, uniform straightneck summer squash developed by 

 Dr. L. C. Curtis at the Connecticut Experiment Station. The plants, which are 

 of the true bush type, are very prolific. Fruits are from 7 to 9 in. long and have 

 the shape of regular strains of Straightneck Summer but are smoother and have 

 a less definite neck. Both seeds and seed cavity are small. Present indications 

 are that Connecticut Straightneck will soon take the place of all earlier strains 

 both on the market and in the home garden.
