THE GRAND JUNCTION SEED CO., Grand Junction, Colorado 
White Bush Scallop Squash. 
Squash 
Baked Squash is always a tasty vegetable and 
Squashes are very easily raised. Also one of the 
cheapest and best feeds to raise for dairy cows 
and other stock. 
Culture. One ounce to 15 to 40 hills, depending 
on the size of the seeds; 3 to 4 pounds per acre. 
Select a well fertilized or rich and well drained 
soil. Seed should only be planted after all dan¬ 
ger of frost is past. Plant in hills 6 to 10 feet 
apart, planting seeds 3 inches deep. Thin to two 
plants to a hill. 
Summer Squash 
Prized for their distinct flavor and their health 
giving qualities. Good in vitamin A, contains 
phosphorus and a high calory rating. Summer 
Squash can be fried and is similar to Eggplant, 
or the young, tender fruits are excellent steamed 
with rind on, then sliced and seasoned. 
Yellow 
Summer 
Crookneck. 
686 White Bush Scallop, Patty Pan. (45 days.) The 
earliest of all Squashes. Fruits, while quite thick, 
are flat with scalloped edges. Fruits grow 8 inches 
in diameter, but should be eaten while quite young. 
Squashes comparatively smooth and creamy white 
in color. Plants of bush form and very productive.

694 Giant Summer Crookneck. (58 days.)

flavor, being close to the Winter Squashes in flavor. 
Fruits often reach 2 feet in length. Pkt, 5c; oz, 
10 c; V4 lb, 35c; lb, $1.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, 5

crating better. Should be a great favorite with the 
shipper. Pkt, 5c; oz, 15c; H lb, 35c; lb, $1.00. 
Small Table Squash 
Small enough to be baked in the shell and retain 
their full flavor. Large enough that a half Squash 
makes a nice serving, avoiding the waste that often 
occurs when a large Squash is cooked. 
698 Ward’s Individual Squash. Very finest sweet 
flavor and for this reason we only offer the one 
variety of small table Squash. This flavor entitles 
the Individual Squash to a place among Squashes 
such as so long held by Golden Bantam among 
sweet corn. The author of a recent book on 
Squashes wrote us that he had left Individual out 
because it appeared to be similar to Delicata, he 
later discovered his mistake in finding the very 
superior flavor of the Individual. To prepare for 
the table, cut in half, place a lump of butter in one 
half, top with the other half and bake whole. Serve 
the halves in the shell. The shell is thin and 
cooks quickly. Individual grows about 7 inches 
long by 3 inches in diameter. Skin alternately 
striped green and yellow. Can be used Summer 
and Winter as it ripens early and keeps well. Seed 
supply is very limited. Pkt, 5c; oz, 20c; 14 lb, 70c; 
lb, $2.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, 5 lbs, $9.00. 
705 Table Queen. (70 days.) A very fine table 
Squash, about 4 to 5 inches in diameter, just the 
right size to slice in half and bake. Seasoned with 
salt, pepper and butter, it is a very delicious dish. 
It will keep very nicely in storage. Pkt, 5c; oz, 
15c; V4 lb, 40c; lb, $1.25; 5 lbs, $5.25. 
W Intel* 
Squash 
The Hubbards and similar varie¬ 
ties that keep all Winter. Excellent 
for baking and for Squash pies. A 
cheaply raised and excellent feed 
for dairy cows and other stock, 
many farmers raise 10 acres or more 
for stock feed. For Winter storage 
gather Squashes, with the stems on, 
before frost and store in a warm, 
dry place. 
To Bake Winter Squash. Cut into 
pieces about 2 inches square, sea¬ 
son with salt, pepper and butter. 
Bake in a moderate oven about 50 minutes. Serve in 
the shell with butter, or scooped from the shell and 
mashed. 
696 Sibley or Pike’s Peak. (85 days.) Extra thick 
meated. fine grained, dry and of excellent flavor. 
An early desirable variety and very prolific. Size 
and shape like the Improved Hubbard. Slate gray 
color makes appearance similar to the Blue Hub¬ 
bard, but the Sibley is more prolific, thicker meat 
and finer quality. A good keeper. Pkt, 5c; oz, 
10c; Vi lb, 35c; lb, $1.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, 5 
lbs, $4.00.
