mend this new large strain most highly, both for home and market.

Royal Acorn 
“From one hill of Acorn squash I gathered late in September 
thirty-six ripe and seven green squashes and we had used four or 
five that ripened early; the other vegetables yielded as well accord- 
ingly. Mr. Arthur E. Grant, East St. Johnsbury, Vt. 
SUMMER SQUASH 
A packet will plant 6 to 8 hills: an ounce 30 hills. Use 5 or 6 Ibs. per acre. 
These squash are borne on dwarf bush vines which do not produce 
runners. They should be planted in hills 3 to 4 feet apart each way. 
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. 
7S SIEARL YELLOW ERORIEICH te ama ammer 
squash of beautiful ap- 
pearance and fine quality. It is very early and highly productive, and 
if the vines are kept picked, it will produce enormous crops of the 
finest squash all through the summer. 
The fruit are of medium size, smooth with a very even tapering shape, 
so that every one is just as fine looking as the next. (See photo on left). 

The skin has a clear bright waxy appearance that is exceptionally 
attractive and the quality is unsurpassed. There is no green color even 
in the very young fruit. These fine squash are borne on compact bush 
plants that grow upright and take up little space in the garden. A few 
plants will produce an abundance of delicious squash for the family. For 
market this is also one of the best and most profitable kinds as it yields 
very heavily and the fruit often brings premium prices.

Early Yellow Prolific

795 HARRIS’ IMPROVED COCOZELLE. (New.) Fine Flavored “Vegetable 
rrow’”’ Squash. These squash are 
a delightful surprise to those who have never had them. They have a distinct, delicate, almost 
meaty taste that is much more delicious than any other summer squash. To be at their best, 
they should be picked when young, not over 10 to 12 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. 
At this stage, they are most tasty and have a wonderful flavor, especially if sliced thinly and 
fried in batter or deep fat. 
The vines are easily grown, compact and bushy in growth so they do not take up much 
space. The fruits are very attractive—long, straight and slender, with a dark green base 
color and stripes of lighter green. Our strain has been developed and grown exclusively by 
us and is much superior to all other strains.
