 fall and winter. The roots are perfectly hardy and 

 may remain in the ground all winter for early 

 spring use. For winter use, dig some roots in the 

 fall and store in moist sand in a cool cellar. A 

 packet will sow about 20 ft. of row; an oz. for

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

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 during the summer and fall, 

 while those of the "winter" type may be stored for use all during the winter.

 have found this mixture profitable.

629 Giant Summer Straightneck 



Stralghfneck Golden Summer Crookneek (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 Crookneek 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 

 eariy as "Crookneek." Plants are bushy, vigorous and very productive.

 running varieties 8 by 8 ft. apart. Sow seed in spring 

 when soil has become warm. Thin bush varieties to 

 4 plants in a hill, running varieties to 2 or 3 plants to 

 a hill. A packet will plant 8 hills; one oz. 40 hills; 

 4 lbs. per acre.
