GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK This is rapidly replac- 

 ing the crookneck type from which it was selected. It re- 

 tains the warted creamy golden skin, large size, fine quality 

 and earliness but the curved neck which made the old type

 our Seeding Breeding Station and wiU produce a maximum 

 of straightneck fruits.
