SQUASH 
BANANA (105 days)—A prolific, oblong variety, 2 1 /2 feet in length by 6 inches 
in diameter, having a gray-green shell with irregular stripes and dashes of a 
darker shade, distinctly pointed at the blossom end; solid dry flesh and small 
seed cavity. Rather late in maturing. 
CROOKNECK, GIANT SUMMER, BUSH (56 days)—The largest and one of 
the earliest summer varieties; fruits often 2 to 2% feet long, very warty and 
deep orange in color. 
CROOKNECK, GOLDEN SUMMER, BUSH (50 days) —A standard early and 
productive summer sort. Fruits about a foot long, moderately warted and of 
a bright yellow color. 
DELICIOUS (102 days)—A fall and winter sort of medium size; top-shaped in 
form and dark green, some specimens showing light green markings running 
toward the blossom end; flesh orange, very dry and delicious. 
FORDHOOK, BUSH (85 days)—A small, oblong variety, excellent for summer 
or winter; fruits 8 to 10 inches long, slightly ridged; skin smooth, thin and 
yellow; flesh very thick, straw colored, extremely dry and sweet. 
GOLDEN DELICIOUS (100 days)—A fall and winter variety of recent intro¬ 
duction. Medium in size, somewhat top-shaped; color a rich golden tint; 
flesh dry and very thick, with highest quality. Very productive, it will yield 
more in cans per acre than any other variety of squash or pumpkin. 
HUBBARD BLUE (100 days)-—A new type of Hubbard squash and said to excel 
all in the superior quality of its flesh. Form and habit of growth similar to 
the original Hubbard, but differing in having an extremely hard, blue-gray 
shell. 
HUBBARD GOLDEN (98 days)—Earlier than Hubbard. The shell is moderately 
warted, hard, strong and of a rich orange-red color; flesh deep orange. An 
excellent keeper. 
HUBBARD IMPROVED (100 d ays)—The standard winter squash. Fruits large, 
heavy, and moderately warted; shell dark bronze-green, showing more or less 
light green markings toward blossom end; flesh bright orange-yellow, fine 
grained, thick and dry. 
HUBBARD WARTED (100 days)—Somewhat larger in size than the well-known 
Hubbard, and of equal quality, but is more heavily warted and the shell is 
very dark green, almost black in color. Our stock of this variety is excep¬ 
tionally true.. 
MARROW, BOSTON (100 days)—The orange-colored fruits are oblong and 
somewhat flattened at the blossom end; skin is moderately hard; flesh salmon 
yellow in color and it is fine grained. Very popular with canners. 
MARROW, ITALIAN VEGETABLE, or COCOZELLA (55 days)—A summer va¬ 
riety of bush habit. Fruits oblong, 16 to 18 inches in length and 5 inches in 
diameter; color dark green, marbled with yellow and dark green stripes, 
carrying 5 furrowed ribs the length of the fruit. Very early. 
SCALLOP, EARLY WHITE BUSH (50 days)—Very early summer squash; fruit 
flattened and scalloped, about 8 inches in diameter, comparatively smooth 
on surface and creamy white in color. Also known as Patty Pan. 
SCALLOP, MAMMOTH WHITE BUSH (55 days)—Very similar to Early White 
Bush, though much larger; 10 to 12 inches in diameter, and of a clear, waxy- 
white color. 
SCALLOP, GREEN TINTED WHITE BUSH, or BENNING (50 days)— Similar ta 
White Bush Scallop, but carrying a fresh green tinge well towards maturity, 
making an attractive market sort. When fully matured the fruit becomes pale 
brown in color.
