First generation hybrid squash (48 days) 
Entirely new and different, Yankee 
Hybrid is a first generation cross by 
controlled pollination. It produces the

vigorous. A cross between Early Pro- 
lic and Connecticut Straightneck, its 
fruits are bright yellow and average 
8 to 9 in. long, tapering only slightly at 
the neck. Pkt. 15¢; oz. 60¢; 14 Ib. $2.25.
