Early Prolific Straightneck 



UCONN (GOLD MEDAL 1950). The Uconn Squash is a new green 

 fruited, bush type Acorn Squash. It was developed by hybrid- 

 izing the vine type Acorn with the Early Prolific Straightneck.

 earliness of Early Prolific Straightneck and is a very heavy 

 bearer.

 can be picked during the first part of the growing season and 

 used as summer squash, while those which set during the 

 latter part of the season may be left on the vine until frost 

 and used as a winter squash, oz. Va lb. lb. 10 lb.
