629 Giant Summer Straightneck ¥ 
A straightneck golden summer crookneck (60 days) 
Much in demand by home and market growers. Shippers find that the fruits 
pack so 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 
easier to prepare for cooking. Flesh is salmon-yellow, and of the finest quality; 
skin is golden orange and heavily warted. Fruits are about 18 in. long. Just 
as early as “‘Crookneck.’’ Plants are bushy, vigorous and very productive. 
Pkt. 10¢; oz. 15¢; 14 Ib. 40¢; 14 lb. 60¢; Ib. $1.00; 2 Ibs. $1.85; 5 Ibs. $4.40.
