A 



very 

 early, flat, scalloped variety of largest 

 size; skin deep yellow; flesh pale yellow 

 and well flavored. We have developed a 

 strain of the old Yellow Bush Scallop which 

 is fully as productive but imiformly lai-ger 

 and flatter than the old stock and has a very 

 small seed cavity. Its superiority is so 

 great that we should be justified by pre- 

 vailing custom in renaming it. Pkt. 6c;

White Summer Crookneck f^j. 



duced by us in 1S95. This excellent 



variety is the result of years of careful 



breeding and selection and it is now one of 



the most fixed and distinct of our summer 



squashes. The fruit is similar in size and 



shape to the Summer Crookneck but of a beautiful 



ivory white color and vmsurpassed in quality. We 



reconmiend this sort as the most beautiful and one 



of the very best of the summer varieties. Pkt. 5c;
