SQUASH 
Summer, 2 oz. to 100 ft., 4 lbs. per acre. 
Winter, 1 oz. to 100 ft., 2 lbs. per acre. 
Culture. Squash plants are very tender and sensitive to cold, 
and planting must be delayed until warm weather. The general 
methods of culture are the same as those given for cucumbers 
and melons, but squash is less particular as to soil. The sum¬ 
mer varieties should be planted 4 to 6 feet apart each way, 
and winter sort 8 to 10. Three plants are sufficient for a hill. 
In gathering the winter sorts care should be taken not to 
bruise or break the stem from the squash as the slightest 
injury will increase the liability to decay. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15c; 
Vi. lb. 35c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
Summer Varieties 
Table Queen, also Danish. In size. Table Queen equals a fair 
sized husked cocoanut, and a half, baked, serves one person 
amply. This avoids the waste often resulting from the use of 
larger varieties. The shell is unusually thin and it does not 
require over 20 minutes for baking or boiling. A good way to 
prepare it is to cut in half, place a lump of butter on one 
half, top with the other and then bake whole. This squash is 
ready before the Hubbards and yet stores equally well. The 
color is dark green. 
Golden Table Queen (New). Similar to regular Table Queen, 
except a beautiful golden yellow color. Has clear yellow flesh, 
which is sweet and fine grained. 
White Bush Scallops. The best summer sort for the home gar¬ 
den or market; very productive and of good size. 
Giant Summer Crookneck. Our strain of this popular squash 
produces fruit nearly double the size of the old standard 
“Crookneck.” The plants are healthy, husky and compact; 
they produce in quantity fruit that is heavily warted and 
true to type. The flesh is a rich golden yellow. 
Giant Straitneck. Similar to Crookneck, but long. 
Zucchini or Italian. The favorite Italian Squash. It should be 
eaten when quite young, 4 to 6 inches long. It is a delicious 
summer variety: do not hesitate to plant it. It is very prolific. 
Black Zucchini. Newer Italian squash. Wonderful flavor. Long 
greenish black. Flesh white.
