when 4 to 6 inches long by 1% inches diameter, pale yellow and quite smooth. At maturity fruits are 
9 to 12 inches long. Plant is about half the spread of Giant Straightneck. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 20c.;

Yankee Hybrid Straightneck Squash 
Being an F! hybrid, this is considered superior in hybrid vigor, earliness and production, espe- 
cially during its early stage. The fruits are very similar in size and color to Connecticut Straightneck. 
Produced by the Connecticut Agricultural Station. Price per pkt., 15c.; 0z., 60c.; %4-Ib., $1.95; Ib., $6.50. 
Giant Straightneck Squash 
(Special Strain) 
There has been a greatly increased 
demand recently for a better strain of 
Giant Straightneck; a selection from 
the Crookneck Squash, but with a 
straight, thick, meaty neck instead of 
the crooked one. Our stock has been 
improved in uniformity. It is decidedly better for shipping as well as in the kitchen. Fruits 15 to 
18 inches; quick growing and tender. The attractive light butter color, without trace of green, has 
been favorably commented on by our market garden trade. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 20¢.; %4-lb., 40c.; Ibi, oL-25. 

Carrot, New Bunching 
A type developed to fill the demand for a longer, bright-colored bunching carrot. The tops are 
somewhat shorter than Chantenay but plenty large and sufficient for bunching. At full maturity, 
the roots are almost cylindrical, with rounded shoulders and well stumped; 1% to 1% inches by 8 
inches long. The color is a fine deep red, both exterior and interior; cores are small and indistinct; 
roots free from hair roots and wrinkles. As compared with Danvers or Chantenay, New Bunching 
is richer in color, longer, more slender, and carries the width more toward the tip. The roots are a 
little slower in reaching full maturity, but it remains in condition for use a long time. Price per 
pkt., 10c.; per oz., 30c.; per 14-lb., 90c.; per lb., $3.00.
