Acorn or Table Queen 
1050 SPAGHETTI 
SQUASHO 
This is a recently introduced vegetable, but 
little known as yet. The plants are quite 
vigorous and set fruit like any Squash. 
These are white skinned and usually grow 
about 8 in. long and 4 in. in diameter. An 
experienced cook says: “Pick a well-ripened 
Squash and cook it whole, without cutting or 
skinning, for twenty minutes in boiling 
water. Take it out of the pot, cut open, and 
you will find a mass of spaghetti, which is 
very tasty when seasoned.” It is a wonder¬ 
fully good keeper and can be stored away 
and used as required until late in the spring. 
Pkt. 100; oz. 200; 4 ozs. 500; Vi lb. 750; 
lb. $1.25; 2 lbs. $2.30; 5 lbs. $5.50.
