SUMMER SQUASH 
Connecticut Straightneck

Early Prolific sorts. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 35c; lb. $1.25.

COCOZELLE VEGETABLE MARROW(Cocozella 
di Napoli) Produces a good crop of practically 
straight squash on a bush similar to Crookneck. 
The fruit is mottled dark and light green, later 
being marbled with yellow. The fruit about 15 
inches long. Many consider this superior to 
Crookneck for flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 
40c; lb. $1.50.

15c; 34 lb. 30c; lb. $1.00.

which turns pale brown when fruit is fully matured. Pkt.

Culture 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. 
10c less per lb. in lots of 10 lb. or more.
