Summer Squash 
CuLture. As soon as the ground is warm, plant in hills 
1 feet apart, 8 to 10 seeds per hill. Later thin to three 
plants to a hill. 1 oz. plants 25 hills; 3 to 4 Ibs. an acre. 
YANKEE HYBRID. 50 days. Entirely new and 
different, Yankee Hybrid is a first-generation cross 
by controlled pollination. Fruits are bright yellow 
and average 8 to 9 inches long, tapering only slightly 
at the neck. Similar to Early Prolific Straightneck 
but produces twice as many fruits from first two or 
three pickings. Highly recommended to market 
gardeners who grow Squash for the early market. 
EARLY PROLIFIC STRAIGHTNECK. 54 days. 
Our strain of Early Prolific Straightneck is the 
finest northern-grown stock obtainable. An ex- 
cellent variety for local market or long-distance 
shipping. An attractive and high-yielding strain of 
Straightneck Squash with fruits creamy yellow, 
8 to 10 inches long and 2 to 21% inches in diameter, 
smooth, slender and slightly pear shaped. 
EARLY WHITE BUSH SCALLOPED (PATTY 
PAN). 55 days. Squashes are creamy white and 
scalloped around the edges; flesh is milk-white, 
smooth, firm and of the most delicious flavor. Plants 
are of bush form and bear a great crop of fruits. 
Probably the most used and best liked of all summer 
Squash. 
BLACK ZUCCHINI. 65 days. This variety is on 
the order of Cocozelle Vegetable Marrow but the 
fruit is dark greenish black all over. The fruits 
measure 10 to 12 inches long by 3 to 31% inches in 
diameter. Cylindrical, with square ends. 
COCOZELLE VEGETABLE MARROW SPECIAL. 
60 days. The compact plant grows upright and 
produces numerous fruits of excellent quality. The 
fruits are cylindrical, straight, smooth, dark green 
with lighter green stripes which change to deep 
yellow at maturity; flesh very firm, greenish white. 
A very early, prolific variety. If the fruits are kept 
picked, the plant will produce practically all season. 
WOOD’S EARLIEST PROLIFIC. 45 days. The 
earliest, meatiest and best white summer Squash. 
Ten days earlier than Early White Bush. No de- 
pression around the stem and the absence of scallops 
makes about double as much meat as in other 
scalloped Squash. It is so much superior to other 
scalloped Squashes that everyone should try it.
