TABLE QUEEN. The Individual Squash. Also known as 
Des Moines, Acorn and Queen Ann. This 
handsome little squash has become without question the most popular 
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. 
The vines are of the “runner type” and very prolific, producing great 
numbers of these fine squash.
