629 Giant Summer Straightneck (60 days) ijt 



A Straightneck Strain of Golden Summer Crookneck 



Much in demand during the past few years by market growers, as they pack 

 so nicely for shipment in either hampers or crates, because of the straight neck. 

 They always arrive at the market in good condition, and \vith 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. The flesh is salmon yellow, and is so 

 tasty when cooked that everybody asks for more. The outside coloring and 

 warting are the same as in the parent variety. We recommend that all oirr 

 friends grow "Straightneck" this year.

Maulers Winter Squash 



CuJture: The w^inter squashes require a longer gro'wing season to mature 

 their fruits and they must remain on the vine until they have fully matured. 

 Because the plants make a vigorous rampant growth, place the seeds in hUls 

 8 by 8 ft. apart. Thin to 2 or 3 plants to a hill. An extra heavy crop can 

 be raised by placing a shovelful of well -rotted manure under each hUl. Sow 

 after all danger of frost has passed; use seed freely, and barely cover the 

 seed. One packet for 8 hUls; 1 oz. for 40 hills; 4 lbs. per acre.
