644 Yankee Hybrid Squash 
_ CROSS-POLLINATED, FIRST GENERATION HYBRID SEED (50 DAYS) 
Entirely new and different. Following the lead made by hybrid sweet corn, 
experiment station men have developed a commercial procedure for hybridizing 
squash, Gardeners who have already learned what startling advantages hybrid 
corn has over open pollinated varieties will be quick to try Yankee Hybrid. 
This new method of seed production means that every seed you buy has been 
harvested from a cross-pollinated fruit, and the plants in your garden will be 
first generation hybrids. 
Hybridizing squash has two main advantages. You get an earlier crop than ever 
before, and you get a larger crop. In addition, you'll find the fruits to be amaz- 
ingly uniform, and the vines both vigorous and fast growing. 
Yankee Hybrid is a cross between Early Prolific and Connecticut Straightneck. 
The resulting fruit averages 8 to 9 inches in length, tapers only slightly at the 
neck, and has a bright yellow skin. Not only does this squash mature fruits 
earlier than any other kind, but it comes into heavy production all at once, with 
a substantial yield at the first picking. The vines continue to produce more than 
the old varieties throughout the bearing season. 
Seed saved from Yankee Hybrid will segregate at once, providing unsatisfactory 
crops; therefore, new seed must be purchased annually, just the same as hybrid 
corn. The seed price will always be higher than that of ordinary varieties because 
of the skilled hand labor involved in its production. 
This hybrid carries our strongest recommendation. If you area euiien summer 
squash gardener, you cannot fail to be most favorably impressed with this All- 
America Bronze Medal Winner. Pkt. 15¢; oz. $1.00; 1/4 Ib. $3.00. 
371 Maulet Perfection Mushmelou 
[INTRODUCED IN 1884 AND STILL OUR BIGGEST SELLER (2 DAYS) 

Year after year this great strain outsells all others, and without the benefit of 
spectacular displays or special offers to introduce it to new users. It seems to 
us that after a careful inspection of all the muskmelons in our trials, both new 
and old, the greatest service we can do our customers is to introduce Maule’s 
Perfection all over again. It is a big melon, weighing 6 pounds, or twice as much 
as Hale’s Best. Its thick, juicy flesh is so sweet and perfectly satisfying that 
when other kinds are compared with it they taste either flat or unpleasantly 
mus For further description and a photograph see page 34.

241 Hybrid Jan Hulless Pepcorm 
HYBRIDIZATION GIVES A MAGIC BOOST TO JAP HULLESS (105 DAYS) 
With hybrid sweet corn and hybrid field corn showing such tremen- 
dous advantages everywhere, it was inevitable that hybrid popcorn 
would eventually appear to displace the old varieties. Hybrid Jap 
Hulless is a product of the University of Minnesota, and it is an 
ideal example of hybrid superiority. It outyields regular Jap Hulless 
by 16%, and that’s the least important advantage. The biggest 
step forward is the fact that although the kernels look the same 
they pop 29% larger by actual measurement! You probably won’t 
be able to buy this wonderful Jap Hulless quality seed for popping, 
so the way to have some next winter is to grow it yourself. It’s 
worth the effort.
