Used when young 
The most popular of the yel¬ 
low summer varieties. The 
fruits are rather small, golden 
yellow in color and thickly 
covered with warts. The va¬ 
riety is exceedingly prolific. 
The fruits are curved in shape, 
the seeds are contained in the 
bowl or stem end, and it is 
probably the best-known of all 
the summer squashes. We have 
a beautiful pure line strain.
