628 Earliest White Bush (50 days) ^ 



Uniform, Round, Flattened, Scalloped Fruits 



Also known under the name of Patty Pan. Squashes are creamy white and seal- ' 

 loped around the edges; flesh is milk-white, smooth, firm and of the most delicious- 

 flavor. Plants are of bush-form and bear a great crop of fruit. Probably the most 

 used and best liked of all Summer Squash, as it can be used when very small and 

 continuously until quite old.

Supplies the Table the Entire Season 



A fine home garden mixture made up of all the excellent Squashes that 

 we list, both summer and winter, early and late maturing, small, 

 medium and large. One sowing will provide fruits for the table all dur- 

 ing the summer and fall, while those of the "winter" type may be 

 stored for use all during the winter. While recommended for the home 

 garden, some truckers with roadside stands have found this mixture 

 profitable. Pkt. 10c ; oz. 15c ; V4 lb. 38c ; V2 lb. SSc ; lb. 88c ;

629 Giant Summer 



Straightneck 



(60 days) ^ 



straightneck Golden Summer 

 Croohneeh 



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. 10c;«z. 15c; 1/4 lb. 40c; V2 lb. 60c;
