WARTED HUBBARD —-Considered the best of the 
winter squashes and more largely grown for market 
and general purpose than any variety. Our superior 
strain of this squash is equal in size and quality to 
the well-known Hubbard, but is more heavily warted 
and very dark green, almost black, in color. Flesh 
fine grained, thick and richly flavored, of bright 
orange yellow color. 
SCALLOP, GREEN-TINTED WHITE BUSH —An im¬ 
proved type of the White Bush Scallop which retains 
its desirable green color well toward maturity. 
SCALLOP, EARLY YELLOW BUSH — Similar to White 
Bush, but of a deep orange color. 
SCALLOP, MAMMOTH YELLOW BUSH, or GOLDEN 
CUSTARD —Mammoth strain of Yellow Bush Scallop. 
TABLE QUEEN 
Baked and served as shown, this is delicious 
MARROW, BOSTON —-An old standard variety, quite 
similar to Hubbard. Shell bright orange; flesh yellow. 
MARROW, ITALIAN, or COCOZELLA —A summer 
variety of bush habit. Fruits are oblong, 16 inches in 
length and 5 inches in diameter; color dark green, 
marbled with yellow and dark green stripes. Very 
delicious. 
SCALLOP, EARLY WHITE BUSH, or CYMLING — A 
very early summer variety, also known as Patty Pan. 
Fruit flattened, scalloped and smooth; creamy white 
in color. 
SCALLOP, MAMMOTH WHITE BUSH — Superior to 
Early White Bush in size and appearance. An early 
maturing, somewhat flattened, scalloped, bush squash 
and the handsomest of the summer varieties; for 
either market or home garden. Fruits a beautiful, 
clear waxy-white color. 
STRAIGHTNECK, GIANT SUMMER— A selection from 
the Crookneck Summer Squash, but having a straight, 
meaty neck, making it more adaptable for shipping. 
The fruits are intensely warted, grow to a large size 
and have an attractive deep orange color. We predict 
it will entirely supersede the old type squash. 
TABLE QUEEN —A fall or winter sort, producing 
acorn-shaped fruit with a dark green shell; flesh light 
yellow and of high quality. 
ZUCCHINI — A type of Cocozella or Italian Marrow 
of short, blocky form; generally used when quite 
small, the entire fruit being boiled. 
ZUCCHINI BLACK — Same season as the regular 
Zucchini but is entirely distinct in form and color. 
The distinctly fluted fruits are practically black in 
color and at maturity measure 18 inches long by 5% 
inches in diameter.

Culture — Seeds may be started in hotbeds, or sown in the open ground as soon as the ground 
can be worked, in rich, dry soil; rake off the bed, and sow broadcast, pressing down firmly and 
evenly, covering the seed very slightly; keep free from weeds, and water frequently if weather 
is dry; set out the first of June, 3 feet apart, in land that has been heavily manured. 
One ounce will produce 5,000 plants—two ounces will plant one acre 
CONNECTICUT SEED LEAF — A popular sort, used for cigar wrappers.
