YANKEE HYBRID 
SUMMER SQUASH 
This is a new develop.nent, a cross be- 
tween Connecticut Straightneck and 
Early Prolific Straightneck, brought out 
by the Connecticut Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station. It is actually no earlier 
than its parents, but yields twice as many 
fruits as either of them do at first pick- 
ings. You can start picking at the same 
time as you would Early Prolific or Con- 
necticut Straightneck, but you will pick 
twice as many at that time. Seed must be 
produced by crossing each year, so that 
seed from your crop should not be saved 
if you want the best results next year. 
Buy new seed each year and you will be 
repaid. Pkt. 25c; oz. 90c; 14 lb. $3.00; 
Ib. $10.00. 
SCHOON’S HARD SHELL 
CANTALOUPE 
A new melon developed from and an improvement 
upon Bender’s Surprise melon. Like the original strain, 
it is a large melon, slightly oblong, with coarse netting 
and distinctly ribbed, but it has the added virtue of 
having a tough, hard shell, which makes it an excellent 
variety for shipping to distant markets. It has bright 
salmon-colored flesh and the best flavor to be found. 
Weighs from 5 to 8 pounds or more. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 30c; 
YY, Ib. 75c; Ib. $2.50.
