BLUE MUBEAKLL from the originaI Hubbard. The fruit

orange-yellow in color; flesh is rich salmon-yellow. 
CHICAGO, or WARTED HUBBARD. Round, with elon¬ 
gated ends; large, with a hard, dark olive-green, warted 
shell; flesh is orange-yellow, thick, dry, and rich. 
Golden Hubbard. Bright orange-red, otherwise like Warted 
Hubbard, except the Squashes are smaller.

turban-shaped variety, 11 inches across and 5 inches deep, 
with very thick, deep orange flesh of excellent flavor. 
Blue Hubbard Squash 
Zucchini Squash 
STRAIGHTNECK, LIGHT YELLOW STRAIN. 
This is a great improvement over the regular Summer 
Straightneck strain. It has pale lemon-yellow 
Squashes which come over 85 per cent straight. They 
are smoother than the original strain, but the light 
yellow color gives them a fresher appearance and they 
sell better on the market.

Black Zucchini. A new black fluted bush Cocozelle, 18 inches 
long and 5 Y 2 inches across. Very prolific, maturing at same time 
as Mammoth Summer Crookneck. 
Cocozelle, or Italian Vegetable Marrow. The dwarf bushes 
produce large, elongated, slightly curved, smooth dark green 
fruits which become marbled with yellow and lighter green. When 
6 to 8 inches long the flesh is very tender, marrowy, and delicious. 
Des Moines. Small acorn-shaped dark green Squash, almost black, 
6 inches long and 4 inches in diameter, of fine quality. The 
running vines are vigorous and yield heavily. Cooked whole 
when young. The Squashes keep well in storage. 
Long Italian Cocozza. An Italian trailing variety with smooth, 
pale greenish white, slim fruits. These grow 3 feet long and 3 to 4 
inches in diameter. If vines are trained on poles, the Squashes, 
being suspended, keep straight but otherwise form crooknecks.

scalloped Squash, often reaching over 12 inches in 
diameter, freely produced on strong bushes.

variety of the Crookneck type, with vines of bush habit, 
large and vigorous. The fruits, when mature, are often 
\ x /2 to 2 feet long, curved at the neck, with a densely 
warted, golden surface. 
Summer Straightneck. This resembles the well-known 
Mammoth Summer Crookneck but the fruits are 
straight, which makes it better for packing. They are 20 inches 
long, warted and deep rich orange. About 80 per cent come true.

long and 5 inches across, narrowing at stem end.
