A new introduction by Dr. Yeager from 
North Dakota. It is a winter keeping variety 
of the highest quality. Fruits are medium 
small, flattened in shape, weighing 3 to 4 
lbs. Outside color is dark green with silvery 
white lines. On the blossom end is a “Turks 
Cap.” The flesh is yellow, dry, sweet and

Varieties (Continued) 
Long White Vegetable Marrow (Bush) 
60 days. A favorite English variety bearing 
oblong creamy white fruits 10 to 15 in. in 
length, 4 in. in diameter. The fruit is gen¬ 
erally eaten when less than half grown as 
the flesh is then very tender and marrowy.

are earlier than other summer varieties. This

thick and 9 to 10 in. in diameter, scalloped 
on the edges and with warts on both sides. 
Color, creamy white. Eaten when young.
