OUR SQUASH SEED 
We are one of the most extensive growers 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 growers will find our squash 
true to type and uniform, No grower 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. Of Italian 
varieties, the East and South prefer Cocozelle while California 
planters use the Zucchini.
