OUR SQUASH SEED 
We are one of the most extensive srowers of squash seed in 
the United States. Our fields are well separated to prevent 
cross-pollination, this being an important item in the growing 
of squash seed, as they will mix at a much greater distance 
than any other vegetable. Market f8rowers will find our 
squash true to type and uniform. No Srower uses more care 
in the production of his stock. 
Dwarf Yellow Summer Crookneck is a favorite in the South 
for fall planting; Early White Bush is a nice, bright green 
when young, turning to pure white when mature. In some sec- 
tions Dwarf Bush Green is taking the place of Early White 
Bush because of its deeper green color. Of Italian varieties, 
the East and South prefer Cocozelle while California planters 
use the Zucchini. The past couple of seasons, Table Queen has 
become more popular in the class of small, individual baking 
squashes, which includes Golden Table Queen and Delicata. 

Cocozelle 65 days. In the south 
this is the most pop-
