Golden Delicious squash is in my opinion about the 
handsomest of squashes. Its vivid orange color catches 
the eye and the quality, when cooked, superior to other 
winter types. It deserves listing by all seedsmen. 
The smaller size of the Kitchenette or Baby Hub¬ 
bard should increase its popularity. Most Hubbards due 
to large size do not appeal to the average housewife, 
while the size of Kitchenette is “just right.” 
We have now purified Table Queen to where there 
should be no complaints. It has had a tendency to “breed 
back,” as indeed do all squashes. Table Queen needs im¬ 
provement as regards having thicker flesh. A larger 
Table Queen might also be valuable. 
The Sweet Potato Squash is likely to become con¬ 
fused with the Tennessee Sweet Potato Pumpkin. The 
Sweet Potato Squash is almost identical with the old Deli- 
cata with no particular merit. We did not observe that it 
had any particular quality that merits its wide use. 
It seems strange that the Early Yellow Bush Scallop 
Squash does not increase in use; at least in proportion to 
Early White Bush Scallop. The Yellow Bush has a re¬ 
markably fine color, very attractive and it is equal in 
every way to the Early White Bush and to the writer 
superior in appearance. 
The true Golden Custard Squash has no particular 
merit. We think it grows too large which means it is not 
very prolific and of course late. 
The Extra Long Cocozelle Squash is inclined to pro¬ 
duce curved fruits and nubbins in unfavorable weather. 
We believe the present type that is wanted really pro¬ 
duces fruits too long. The shorter strain we think to be 
the most efficient. Some of the extra long Cocozelles this 
season produced fruits 24 inches in length and usually 
but one fruit to the plant, whereas the shorter type pro¬ 
duces six or eight and usually all perfect fruits.
