SQUASH—Continued 
TABLE QUEEN. The Individual Squash. Also known as 
- 1 Des Moines, Acorn and Queen Ann. This 
handsome little squash has become without question the most pop¬ 
ular kind for individual baking. It is definitely of better quality 
than any other squash of similar size and type. 
The fruit is dark green, 4 to 5 in. long and 4 in. in diameter, deeply 
ribbed and with a smooth hard shell. It is of a very convenient size 
for baking and serving in the shell. When picked about half grown 
and cooked as a “summer squash” it is extremely fine. The flesh is 
deep yellow, sweet, of fine flavor, dry and free from stringiness. The 
squash will keep all winter and should be allowed to ripen thoroughly 
before using. This strain is very uniform in size, type and color.

GIANT SUM MER STRAIGHTNECK. B '* ht

summer squash has now almost entirely replaced the old Crookneck 
type, in both home and commercial gardens. It differs from the old 
Crookneck only in shape; the “neck” instead of being curved is straight. 
The fruit is of large size, and of clear light yellow color. 
This is our strain which has been so popular with our customers.

A packet will soic 15 ft. of row; an ounce 75 ft. 
“Oyster Plant,” as it is often called, is 
easily grown and is used in the late fall and 
winter when there are very few fresh vege¬ 
tables to be had. Market gardeners find this a 
profitable vegetable to grow. 
The largest roots are grown on rather light 
rich soil, but good ones can be produced on 
almost any good garden land. Sow the seed 
in May in rows 2 feet apart and thin the 
plants to 3 inches apart. The roots can be 
used any time in the fall and winter. They 
may remain in the ground all winter, but 
before the ground freezes a supply of roots 
should be dug and placed in moist sand in 
the cellar for use in the winter.
