SUMMER SQUASH 
Connecticut Straightneck 
Culture While many of the varieties listed below actually 
belong to the Pumpkin family, we are listing them as squash in 
accordance with common usage. Early in May, or as soon as 
the ground is warm, plant 8 or 10 seeds in a hill, the hills 4 to 
6 feet apart. Later, thin out, leaving the three strongest plants 
in each hill. One ounce to 25 hills; 3 to 4 pounds per acre. 
CONNECTICUT (Lemon-color) STRAIGHTNECK A 
new strain developed by the Connecticut Agr. Ex¬ 
periment Station, and proving popular because of its 
earliness, lemon-yellow color and the fact that it is 
smaller, has fewer and less prominent warts than 
the old strain. Pkt., 10c ; oz., 20c; )4 lb., 60c; lb., $2. 
SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK This is fast becoming 
the most used summer squash for market gardeners, 
as the necks do not break off as easily as the crooked 
ones. We have improved this strain, and grow it 
ourselves, and it will be found to have very few 
crooknecks as compared with other stocks. Pkt.. 
10c: oz.. 15c; )4 lb., 40c; lb., $1.25.

tender, and smaller crookneck than the Giant. It

Napoli) Produces a good crop of practically 
straight squash on a hush similar to Crookneck. The

flavor. Pkt., 10c: oz., 15c; lb- 40c; lb., $1.50.
