TABLE QUEEN. The Individual Squash. Also known as Acorn, Des 
Moines and Queen Ann. This handsome little squash 
is the most popular kind for individual baking because of its very fine quality. 
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. 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 thor- 
oughly 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.

ROYAL ACORN, (Mammoth Table Queen) NEW. Many people 
have wanted a larger sized squash of Table Queen or 
Acorn type, and this new strain fills the bill. The fruits have the same shape and 
fine dark green color as the popular small Table Queen, but these are considerably 
larger, measuring 6 to 7 in. long and 5 in. across. The flesh is thick and excellent for 
baking, and the vines are strong, hardy and productive. We recommend this new 


large strain most highly, both for home and market.

A packet of seed of summer varieties will plant 6 to 8 hills; an ounce 30 hills. 
Summer squash is easy to grow and will produce enormous crops all 
summer if the fruit are kept picked off as soon as they are ready to use. 
More fruit come on and you can have a continuous supply right up 
until frost. All types of summer squash, cocozelle, etc. are much better 
to eat if they are used when they are still young and tender.
