Yankee Hybrid—N ew 
Early and Prolific 
Developed by Dr. Lawrence C. Curtis of 
the Connecticut State College, this new Hybrid 
Straightneck Summer Squash is without equal 
for the production of early fruit. On our farm 
both this year and last, it was not only several 
days earlier than the next best variety but the 
first picking averaged more than twice as 
many marketable fruit, and the total yield 
was greater. 
The squash are of the finest type, ex- 
tremely uniform and with straight thick necks. 
The skin is slightly roughened and of a glow- 
ing waxy yellow color that makes them very 
attractive. There is no green color even when 
_ very young. 
We offer only first generation Hybrid seed 
grown directly from pure line inbreds. This is 
a difficult process but is essential to get the 
maximum earliness, vigor and uniformity. See 
prices below. Yankee Hybrid Squash 



Harris’ Improved Cocozelle—A 1942 Harris Introduction 
We are proud to offer for the first time this new long, slender, straight type of Cocozelle which 
critical squash growers have long been looking for. 
Developed and grown entirely by us on our own farm, this new strain will produce longer, 
more slender and more uniform fruits than the regular Italian Vegetable Marrow or Cocozelle, 
and makes a very fancy pack. The squash are very even throughout the length and carry the desired 
dark green base color with stripes of lighter green. The vines are the true dwarf type and very 
prolific. Try this new kind. See prices below. 
Early Yellow Prolific 
A New Summer Squash of Great Merit 
This is now definitely established as one of the finest and most popular varieties. The fruit 
is not as large as the Giant Straightneck varieties, but they are borne in great profusion on 
the dwarf vines. These squash are very uniform for shape and size and are remarkable for 
their smooth skin and clear bright yellow color, having no trace of green even when very young. 
We grew a fine crop of seed on our own farm this year and can assure our customers that 
no better stock of this variety can be obtained. See prices below.
