Our Squash Seed We are one of the most extensive growers of squash 
seed in the United States. Our fields are well 
separated to prevent cross pollenation; this being 
an important item in the growing of squash seed as they will mix at a much 
greater distance than any other vegetable. Market growers will find our 
squash true to type and uniform. No grower uses more care in the produc¬ 
tion of his stock. 
Dwarf Yellow Summer Crookneck is a favorite in the south for fall planting; 
Early White Bush is a nice bright green when young, turning to pure white 
when mature. In some sections Dwarf Bush Green is taking the place of the 
Early White Bush because of its deeper green color. The Italian varieties are 
becoming more popular each year. The east and south seem to prefer Cocozelle 
while California planters like the Zucchinis. The winter squash seed crop
