Blue Hubbard Squash 
Summer Varieties 
One ounce will plant about 25 hills; 3 pounds will plant an acre 
STRAIGHTNECK, LIGHT YELLOW STRAIN. A great im¬ 
provement over the regular Summer Straightneck. It has pale 
lemon-yellow Squashes which come over 85 per cent straight. The 
light yellow color gives them a fresher appearance and they sell well. 
Black Zucchini. A new black fluted bush Cocozelle, 18 inches 
long and 5}/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. 
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. 
Mammoth Golden Custard. A very large, deep golden 
yellow, scalloped Squash, often reaching over 12 inches 
in diameter, freely produced on strong bushes. 
MAMMOTH SUMMER CROOKNECK. A fine early 
type, with vines of bush habit, large and vigorous. The 
fruits, when mature, are often 13^ 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. 
Vegetable Marrow. (Bush.) Yellowish white fruits, 20 inches 
long and 5 inches across, narrowing at stem end. 
White Bush Scalloped, or Patty Pan. Early, somewhat flattened, 
scalloped, and of medium size. The color is creamy white; 
slightly warted surface. The vines are vigorous. 
Zucchini. A bush Cocozelle with oval-shaped fruits, 14 inches long 
and 5 inches across. The skin is dark green, but lightly mottled 
and striped with yellow when at marketing size. Early, prolific.
