Quality Squash 
The richest small market Squash 
Quality squash cannot be excelled for a small to 
medium size squash to sell at the roadside stand, and 
markets which desire smaller squash. 
They are dark olive green in color, 7 to 9 inches in 
diameter and of an attractive heart shape. The flesh is 
of the finest quality, being dry and sweet. Once they 
try it customers always come back for more of this kind. 
It is our candid opinion that if you do not grow this 
kind you are missing a good thing. 
Seed of our own growing. See prices below.
