This variety, also called Des Moines Market, is a small, 
acorn-shaped squash, smooth and very dark greenish 
black in color with deep ridges. The flesh is thin, pale 
orange to deep yellow, and when baked (usually whole)

VALIANT 60-70 days 
Coming between Earliana types and Marglobe and 
Rutgers, Valiant will yield a fine crop averaging 7 oz. 
per fruit where it can mature most of its crop before 
severe heat comes in July. It has done wonderfully well 
in New Jersey. Smooth, heavy, solid and of fine quality. 
Owing to its sparse vine growth, it is subject to sunburn 
in sections where early maturity is not possible. 2 oz. 
55c; oz. 70c; Y% Ib. $2.50; Ib. $8.00. 
PRITCHARD (Certified) | 67-76 days 
\ALEAMERICAYASY SELECTION 7 Gold Medal 1933 
Pritchard was developed by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture by crossing Marglobe with Cooper’s Special 
Self Topper. It combines the good qualities of both these 
varieties. The vines are distinctly bushy because of self- 
pruning or self-topping character. Fruits are large, 
smooth, globe-shaped and ripen uniformly to a very 
deep attractive red color both inside and out. '2 oz. 
50c; oz. 70c; % Ib. $2.50; Ib. $8.00. 
STOKESDALE (Certified) 66-75 days 
This variety is quite similar to Grothen’s Globe in 
time of maturity and vine growth, except that the leaves 
are somewhat larger and heavier. The vines hold up 
better than Grothen’s but the fruit is smaller in size than 
either Grothen’s Globe or Rutgers. The fruit is bright 
scarlet in color and almost globe shaped. ' oz. 50c; 
oz. 70c; Y% Ib. $2.50; Ib. $8.00. 
BOUNTY 60-70 days 
An early variety developed by the North Dakota 
Agricultural Experiment Station. The fruits are scarlet 
in color, smooth, globular in shape and ripen uniformly 
with no dark green color around the stem. The vines are 
very small, fair foliage, although poor coverage be- 
cause of prolific set. A very productive variety. Y2 oz. 
50c; oz. 70c; %4 Ib. $2.50; Ib. $8.00. 
SCARLET DAWN 63-73 days 
\ALEAMERICA(AN) SELECTION“ Gold Medal 1935 
An excellent bright scarlet sort which seldom shows 
any cracking and ripens evenly from blossom to stem 
end. The vines are medium sized, with spreading 
branches, giving fair coverage. 2 oz. 50c; oz. 70c; 
VY, Ib. $2.50; Ib. $8.00. 
RUTGERS (Certified) 73-83 days 
This outstanding variety was developed by the New 
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. It is only a few 
days later than Marglobe, however, much more pro- 
ductive. The vines are heavy, vigorous, bushy growth, 
coarser foliage than Marglobe, medium dark green in 
color. Too much fertilizer may produce excessive foliage 
and late fruiting. The fruits are medium to large, shaped 
somewhat like Marglobe but flatter at the stem end. 
The color is deep or dark scarlet with a very large 
pulpy core of almost the same intense color as the 
outer surface of the fruit. Y2 oz. 40c; oz. 60c; %4 Ib.
