cellent kind for family use or for market.

distinct improvement on the Crookneck

type. The fruits are thick-necked, heavily 
warted, straight, orange-yellow. The 
flesh is thick, light yellow and of good 
quality.

as the Green Hubbard in shape and tex¬ 
ture of skin. The flesh is equally good 
but the skin is yellow or golden when the 
squash is ripe.
