TABLE QUEEN. The Individual Squash. Also known as 
Acorn, Des Moines 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.

Summer S§ 
A packet of seed of summer varieties will plant 6 to 8 hills; an ounce 30 hills. 
In order to produce a continuous supply of summer squash the fruits 
should be kept picked before they reach full size. All kinds of Summer 
Squash are much better when they are young. 
EARLY YELLOW PROLIFIC. This is a grand dwarf 
summer squash and a dis- 
tinct triumph in plant breeding. The squash are very attractive, smaller 
than the old straightneck, smooth, straight and a beautiful clear yellow. 
There is not a trace of green even in the very young fruit. The vine is 
dwarf, and extremely prolific and early. Note the heavy set of fine 
fruit in the photo below. 
This is a very profitable kind for market and an excellent kind for 
the home garden, as a few plants will give an abundance of beautiful 
summer squash of the finest quality if the young fruit are kept picked.

ITALIAN VEGETABLE MARROW. (Cocozelle.) This is the standard 
yariety and a profitable crop to grow both for market and roadside 
stands. It is much more delicate and fine flavored than other kinds 
of Summer Squash. The plant is of bush type without runners and 
the fruit is mottled with dark and light green. Some people use it when 
very small (5 to 6 in. long) but mostly it is used when 10 or 12 inches 
long and is boiled or cut in slices and fried in butter. 
Our stock ts very fine, being uniform in shape and of dark green color.

of this bush vegetable marrow is very even in size and nearly as long 
as Cocozelle, and has a solid dark green skin with no light grey or light 
striped fruits. Best if picked when 8 to 10 in. long or smaller. 
These squash are delicious cut lengthwise and baked with a strip 
of bacon on each piece. Use squash 6 to 8 in. long. Try some this year.

SALSIFY or Vegetable Oyster 
A packet will sow 15 ft. of row; an ounce 75 ft. 
“Oyster Plant,” as it is often called, is 
easily grown and is used in the late fall and 
winter when there are very few fresh vege- 
tables to be had. Market gardeners find this a 
profitable vegetable to grow. 
The largest roots are grown on rather light 
rich soil, but good ones cau be produced on 
almost any good garden land. Sow the seed 
in May in rows 2 feet apart and thin the 
plants to 3 inches apart. The roots can be 
used any time in the fall and winter. They 
may remain in the ground all winter, but 
before the ground freezes a supply of roots 
should be dug and placed in moist sand in 
the cellar for use in the winter.
