SQUASH (Continued from Page 12) 
Giant Summer Straightneck (55 days)—One of the best for shipping, since, straight- 
neck packs well without breaking. Fruits are large and heavier than Crookneck. 
Skin warted and yellow. A very good seller. 
Fordhook (62 days)—A trailing sort for fall and winter use. Skin ridged, smooth, 
cream colored. Flesh thick, dry and sweet. 
Italian or Zucchini (60 days)—Increasingly popular, weighs 3-4 lbs., nearly cylindrical 
and straight. Green mottled with creamy-grey. Bush type plant. 
Banana (105 days)—A winter trailing sort. About 2 feet long, 6 inches in diameter 
with pointed end. A gray-green color with irregular stripes. Solid, dry, yellow, fine 
grained, sweet flesh. Excellent for pies or baking. 
Hubbard (100 days)—A standard winter squash. Fruits 9-10 inches through, globular, 
dark bronze green, very hard warted shell. Thick yellow fine grained flesh of excellent 
quality. 
SPINACH 
Sow in February and March and again in October for early spring use. Will not do 
well in hot weather. One ounce to 50 feet, 10-15 lbs. per acre broadcast. 
Bloomsdale (42 days)—Will stand well without bolting to seed, therefore, used ex- 
tensively for spring planting. Leaves intensely crumpled and blistered, dark green. 
Viroflay (45 days)—The long, broad, pointed, thick, smooth leaves make this spinach 
generally preferred when conditions will allow it to be planted. Blights and bolts to 
seed readily in warm weather. Easy to wash and a good spinach to can. 
Virginia Blight Resistant (39 days)—Used principally in sections where blight occurs. 
Somewhat smoother than Bloomsdale, inclined to bolt to seed earlier. 
Nobel (44 days)—Of the Viroflay type but a little larger and may stand a little 
longer without going to seed. 
New Zealand (70 days)—Distinctly removed from true spinach. Plants tall and 
spreading with numerous shoots. Leaves rather small and pointed. Grows well in hot 
weather and under adverse conditions. 
TOMATOES 
Sow seed in hot beds and re-set plants after danger of frost or sow seed in open when 
weather is warm and thin to a stand. Plants should be set or thinned to 4 feet each 
way. One ounce will produce 2000 plants or 4 ounces will plant an acre. Planting 
seed in field is the most successful method in the Pecos Valley. Planting seed under 
HOTKAPS will enable you to reach the market two or three weeks earlier. 
Improved Marglobe (77 days)—The outstanding tomato in the Pecos Valley. Larger 
than the original. Holds well in white ripe stage for shipping, also, an excellent 
canner. Large, red smooth, globular with thick cell wall. The plant is resistant to 
wilt and rust. Very productive. 
Bonny Best (70 days)—A second early, smooth and uniform. The best canner where 
the season is too short for the Marglobe to produce heavy. Medium size, bright scarlet, 
always smooth and uniform. 
Break O’Day (70 days)—Resembles Marglobe in shape, size and disease resistant quali- 
ties but not so productive. Open type plant. Fruits are scarlet, meaty and solid. 
Pritchard or Scarlet Topper (75 days)—wWilt resistant, heavy producer of good quality. 
Fruits are slightly globular, solid and medium sized, scarlet and well colored about 
the stem. 
New Stone (85 days)—Large, flattened, smooth and solid. Bright deep scarlet. A 
good late producer, preferred by many. Excellent canner.
