SUMMER SQUASH 
Culture While many of the varieties listed below actually belong to 
the Pumpkin family, we are listing them as squash in accordance with 
common usage. Early in May, or as soon as the ground is warm, plant 
8 or 10 seeds in a hill, the hills 4 to 6 feet apart. Later, thin out, leaving 
the three strongest plants in each hill. One ounce to 25 hills; 3 to 4 pounds 
per acre. 
SUMMER STRAISHTNECK This is fast becoming the most used 
summer squash for market gardeners, as the necks do not break 
off as easily as the crooked one. We have improved this strain, 
and grow it ourselves, and it will be found to have very few 
crooknecks as compared with other stocks. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 
54 lb., 40c; lb., $1.50. 
EARLY SUMMER CROOKNECK A light yellow tender, and 
smaller crookneck than the Giant. It is earlier, and the squashes 
are about 10 inches in length. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 54 lb., 30c; 
lb., $1.00. 
Early Summer Crookneck 
Summer Straightneck 
GIANT SUMMER CROOKNECK For years the standard variety. Grows large, dark yellow and well-warted fruit with a crook 
neck, about 18 inches long when mature. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; pf lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
COCOZELLE VEGETABLE MARROW (Cocozella di Napoli) Produces a good crop of practically straight squash 
on a bush similar to Crookneck, but the leaves are somewhat different in appearance. We are growing this va¬ 
riety to satisfy a fast growing number of critical gardeners. The fruit is mottled dark and light green, later 
being marbled with yellow. The fruit about 15 inches long. Many consider this superior to Crookneck for 
flavor. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 40c; lb., $1.50. 
COCOZZA LONGE A long Italian squash (also called Hercules’ Club gourd), usually trained over a trellis. Extra fine flavor. 
Fruit often three to six feet long and 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; %. lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
EARLY WHITE BUSH SCALLOP 
(Cymling or Patty Pan) A very 
early summer variety, as illus¬ 
trated below. Fruit flattened 
and scalloped, about 8 inches 
in diameter, with a smooth and 
creamy white skin. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
GREEN TINTED WHITE BUSH 
SCALLOP (Benning) Similar 
to Early White Bush, but with 
a greenish tinted skin, which 
turns pale brown when fruit is 
fully matured. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
15c; lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.
