Summer SQUASH 
In descriptions, we give the average size of fruits when fully grown. For the 
best eating, summer squashes are used when immature, usually when very 
small: in fact, the Early White and Yellow Patty Pans are delicious if cooked 
whole when very tiny —an inch or more across. Bush varieties take up little 
room and are especially adaptable for the small garden; running varieties need 
plenty of room for the vines to ramble over the ground. They may, like 
pumpkins, be planted among the corn, allowing 8 to 12 ft. of space for each 
group or hill. See cultural directions on next page.

Fordhook Zucchini Improved Summer Squash 
Summer and Winter Squash 
Fruits may be used before the skin hardens, but the quality will be better if they are 
allowed to form a hard shell; splendid for winter storage. Fine grained, sweet, tender flesh. 
They are of the ‘‘runner’’ or vining type of growth; allow plants space to develop.

turning dull orange after a period of storage. Flesh is up to 1% in. thick, dry and sweet, 
with baking quality as good as the smaller Table Queen. The keeping quality is excellent. 
Fruits may be used for boiling when immature, but for the best quality they should be 
allowed to develop until the shell is hard. Royal Acorn overcomes the chief objection to 
the extremely popular Acorn or Table Queen being so. small, one fruit furnishing only 
two individual servings while one Royal Acorn squash will provide several servings. Vines 
are vigorous, productive, with large leaves. A top-notch squash for summer and winter.
