SQUASH—BUSH VARIETIES (Continued) 
EARLY WHITE BUSH. (Potty Pan Type.) (18 days.) This 
is a very popular type of squash for shipment to Northern 
markets. The comparatively smooth fruits are of creamy 
white color are round and flat but deep, with ridged or scal¬ 
loped edges, measuring about six to eight inches across by 
three inches thick. This variety is very early in maturity and 
can be shipped six or seven weeks after planting. Our stock 
is very early, extremely prolific and uniformly true to type.

MAMMOTH WHITE BUSH. (Patty Pan Type.) (50 days.) 
A large strain of the Early White Bush, the fruits being 
about one-third larger, measuring eight to ten inches in di¬ 
ameter. It is slightly later in maturing and not quite as pro¬ 
lific as Early White Bush. Color is a beautiful waxy white. 
The fruits are thick, tender, and of very good flavor and 
quality. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Va lb. 25c; 1 lb. 75c. 
WOOD'S EARLIEST PROLIFIC. (Patty Pan Type.) (42 days.) 
This is the earliest, meatiest, and one of the best of all 
summer squashes. It will average seven to ten days earlier 
than Early White Bush, mature all of its fruits quickly and 
will be almost through producing by the time Early White 
Bush begins making much of a crop when planted at the 
same time. The plants are extremely prolific, producing 
round, smooth, deep, thick fruits, not scalloped, and of a 
silvery gray color. The fruits are much deeper and thicker 
than the White Bush, being bulged at both stem and blos¬ 
som ends. A very desirable sort to grow where very early 
squashes are wanted for home use or to ship.

SQUASH-RUNNING VARIETIES 
The running varieties of squash are distinct from the bush 
varieties—the vines run 10 to 12 feet, and the squashes 
weigh from 2 to 12 pounds. With running varieties, the 
fruits are left on the vines until fully grown with a hard 
rind, and are then harvested by cutting the stem, being care¬ 
ful to avoid bruising. Running squash may be stored in a 
cool, dry place until desired for use, but must be handled 
carefully. They are claimed to be much richer in flavor and 
more nutritious than bush squashes. 
GREEN HUBBARD. (110 days.) This is a running variety 
that is very productive and vigorous. The fruits are large 
and oval, and the dark green, warted rind is very thick, so 
that the fruits will keep over long periods in storage. Its 
orange flesh is very fine and sweet, making it excellent for 
pies and baking. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Va lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
TABLE QUEEN. (60 days.) Although belonging to the run¬ 
ning sorts, this squash is as early as the bush types and 
should become very popular in Florida. Its very dark green 
fruit is small, weighing about 2 pounds, and is about 5 to 6 
inches long and 4y 2 inches in diameter, with the sides deeply 
ridged. Its flesh is very fine and sweet. When halved and 
baked, it will serve two people nicely. It is also a very good 
keeper and shipper. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Va lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
BOSTON MARROW. (110 days.) A running variety with 
vines very sturdy and prolific. The fruit is shaped very much 
like the Hubbard, but is of light lemon-yellow color. Its 
flesh is very sweet and fine-grained, making it very good for 
cooking. The tough thick rind makes it a good keeper and a 
good shipper.

AFRICAN SQUASH. (New) (100 days.) One of the out¬ 
standing characteristics of this new squash is that it appears 
to be very resistant to all types of insects which commonly at¬ 
tack squash in Florida. Furthermore, the vines seem to be 
resistant to the various diseases to which squash is subject. 
The vines of this squash are long, and very prolific. The fruits 
are edible either as baked squash or made into pies. The 
flesh is very thick and of a cream or salmon color. Fruits 
range in size from 3 to 10 lbs. The fruits are bell shaped, 
with a smooth and thin rind, but show slight sutures toward 
full maturity. The rind is of a dark green color. It keeps 
exceedingly well under Florida conditions. This new squash 
should be given a trial by every Florida grower. Supply of 
seed is very limited.
