German: KURBIS 
SUMMER VARIETIES 
Early White Bush Scallop. Patty Pan or Cymbling is the 
common name of this well-known variety. The plant is 
bushy and bears creamy white patty shaped fruits, scal- 
loped on the edges. The flesh is milk-white, firm, smooth, 
and richly flavored. This is the most popular of white 
summer squashes for home garden use. 50 days. 
Mammoth White Bush. An improved selection of “Early 
White Bush,” much larger and deeper, has fewer scal- 
lops, and is a heavier producer. 60 days. 
Giant Summer Straightneck. The straight shape of this 
squash makes it superior to the old crookneck from 
which it was selected. However, it has kept the warty 
creamy-gold skin, the large size, the fine quality, and the 
earliness of the parent squash. The plants are bushy in 
type, vigorous growing and productive. 60 days. 
Giant Summer Crookneck. An improvement over the Sum- 
mer Crookneck. The squashes grow to a large size, 
measuring from 18 inches to 2 feet in length. Deep orange 
skin and salmon-orange flesh. A productive tasty sum- 
mer squash. Its growth and habits resemble the common 
crookneck variety, but the fruits have a different shaped 
neck; instead of being long, narrow and crooked, it is 
somewhat shorter, thicker and straighter, making it more 
desirable for packing and not so liable to break off. 60 
days. 
Carawozze (Italian Long Green Goo-Gootz) Squash. Grows 
about three feet in length and about three inches in 
diameter. Pale green in color. Used by Italians for slic- 
ing and frying like egg-plant or baking stuffed with meats. 
65 days. 
WINTER VARIETIES 
Table Queen or Acorn. Because of convenience for baking 
and serving in halves, this little squash has gained great 
popularity. It weighs only about 1% pounds and is acorn- 
shaped deeply furrowed, and dark green on the outside. 
The flesh is rich yellow, somewhat coarse grained, dry and 
mealy, and of delicious flavor. 100 days. 
Banana Squash. This is a rather odd squash but a great 
favorite wherever grown. The squash grows 11% to 2% 
feet long and about 9 inches in diameter. The skin is light 
olive color; flesh beautiful orange and it is recognized 
as the sweetest squash that grows. When matured it will 
keep longer than the Hubbard. 115 days.

WINTER VARIETIES—(Continued) 
Warty Hubbard. This is the best and most popular strain 
of the winter squash. When thoroughly ripe its tough, 
warted shell is as hard as a rock, and the meat is a rich 
golden-orange color, possessing the highest flavor, only to 
be compared with that of a sweet potato. Many prefer a 
good ripe Hub- 
bard Squash 
baked well done 
in a hot oven to 
baked sweet po- 
tatoes. Chicago 
Warty Hubbard, 
if allowed to ri- 
pen, will keep in 
good condition, 
and one may have 
this delicious 
vegetable all 
winter. They are 
easy to grow, and 
pay you well for 
the time and 
trouble. 95 days.
