*x YANKEE HYBRID: 45 days. This is a true 
first generation hybrid made by controlled cross- 
ing of inbreds of Connecticut Straightneck and Early 
Prolific. This cross produces a squash that is dis- 
tinctly earlier than either parent, is more productive 
and more uniform. The vine is bush type. Fruit 
medium yellow, straight and very slightly warted. 
Every Market Gardener knows what it means to 
have squash on the market ahead of his neighbors. 
Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 1% Ib. $1.50; Ib. $5.00. 
GIANT STRAIGHTNECK: 55 days. An improve- 
ment over the old Bush Crookneck as it packs better 
for shipping. Our seed stock is, we believe, one of 
the finest in the east. The plant is semi-bush type: 
the squashes are large warted and rich yellow in 
color.
