Giant Summer Straightneck Squash 
Squashes 
Squash seed should be planted at about the same time and 
in the same manner as cucumbers and melons. The hills 
should be 9 feet apart each way, slightly elevated, and highly 
manured. Bush varieties may be planted closer together. Use 
plenty of seed, as the bugs will destroy some plants. 
Summer varieties, sow 4 ounces to 100 hills; 4 pounds, an acre 
Winter varieties, 8 ounces to 100 hills; 2 pounds, an acre 
Blue Hubbard. 90 days. Hard shell; thick, dry meat of fine 
quality; favorite winter sort for Boston market. 
Cocozelle. 65 days. This Italian Squash grows about 15 
inches long and has smooth, dark green skin; fine flavored. 
Delicious. 103 days. No Squash compares with it for table 
use. Remarkably fine and compact grain, dry, sweet, and 
exceedingly rich in flavor; almost uniformly a green shade. 
Des Moines or Table Queen. A Novelty. 58 days. The 
vines are vigorous; Squashes small, acorn shaped; color 
dark green, almost black; size about 6 inches long and 4 
inches in diameter; prolific. Quality excellent. 
New Giant Summer Straightneck. 55 days. Lemon 
color. The largest of the early Straightnecks, and as 
early as any; flesh tender and good, cooking quickly.

garden or roadside market. Fruit weighs about 7 pounds.

Golden Hubbard. 100 to 105 days. This is a very distinct 
sort of the shape and general character of the Hubbard, but 
a little smaller, earlier to mature, and of a rich orange-red 
color, instead of the dark olive-green of the old Hubbard. 
Golden Summer Crookneck. 55 days. Early and produc¬ 
tive; fruits yellow, covered with water excrescences, as in all 
this race; flesh fine-grained and rich. Of fine quality.

warty, thicker and harder, color richer, and a better keeper.

shells of large size. Popular with market-men.

colored; flesh sweet and rich; very productive.
