EARLY PROLIFIC STRAIGHTNECK HMS _ SEPER 
In our opinion this is one of the most valuable and promising squashes available today. 
It is a bush type, early, fruit straight for convenience in packing and shipping, and 
unusually attractive. Along the type of Giant Straightneck, but smaller and almost 
smooth. Very prolific over long period. All America Selection S. M. 1938. 
FRUIT—12 inches long and 3!/y inches in diameter and slightly smaller at stem end; 
most attractive yellow color. 
FLESH—Firm and of excellent quality and flavor, 
EARLY SUMMER CROOKNECK, YELLOW | HMS SALVO 
The most widely used of the summer squashes in its class. A superb sort for home and 
market gardens and for shipping. Yields fruit profusely on a bush type vine. Fruit to 
#5 used when immature. Our strain is medium sized and very uniform; a favorite with 
shippers. | 
FRUIT—I0 inches long and 3!/ inches in diameter; weighs around 2 pounds; small, 
crooked neck, with enlarged blossom end, where seeds are borne; rich yellow 
in color and thickly covered with warts. . 
FLESH—Yellow, thick; noted for its fine quality and flavor. 
EARLY YELLOW BUSH SCALLOP HM SALTY 
Similar to Early White Bush Scallop in all characteristics except it is a little later reach- 
ing the edible stage and is golden yellow in color. 
GIANT STRAIGHTNECK, YELLOW HMS SIEGE 
Valuable to shippers and market gardeners as it packs nicely, making a less bulky item 
to handle. Plant is bush type and bears prolifically. 
FRUIT—1I6 inches long and 4 inches in diameter; weighs around 3 pounds; straight, 
thick-necked, yellowish orange in color, thickly warted. 
FLESH—Golden yellow, thick, fine flavored. 
GIANT SUMMER CROOKNECK, YELLOW HM SOUSE 
Not unlike the Early Summer Crookneck, from which it is a selection, except that it is 
later in season and larger in size. lt has not been quite as widely accepted as the old 
type, but serves the same markets where a little larger variety is desired. . 
FRUIT—16 inches long and 6!/5 inches in diameter; weighs around 4 pounds, and in 
other respects similar to the old type. 
FLESH—Yellow, thick, of fine quality and flavor. 
WOODS PROLIFIC HM SIETT 
Although characteristically somewhat variant in uniformity, this variety is of value 
and is readily recognized by its different type from the White Bush Scallop, from 
which it is derived. A prolific and dependable sort with ability to withstand adverse 
conditions. 
FRUIT—Generally from cream to white, like the Bush Scallop, with occasional green 
striped fruit; deeper fruit than Bush Scallop with very little to no scalloping, 
with slight variations in size and shape. 
FLESH —Greenish white, solid, fine grained. 
YANKEE HYBRID HM SIOEO 
Originated by the Conn. Agricultural Experiment Station and is a regular, single cross 
hybrid, resulting from a carefully controlled process of crossing the two inbreds. 
Expensive as the seed may be the Conn. Station has records to show it pays gardeners 
to use this hybrid where they depend on most of their returns from the earliest market, 
due to its more prolific development of early fruits. All America Selection 
B. M. 1941. 
FRUIT—Very similar in all respects to the Early Prolific Straightneck variety. 
ZUCCHINI, GRAY GREEN HMS SHOOP 
Another of the Italian Marrow type and similar in type to the Zucchini Black except 
fruit slightly smaller and mottled green giving grayish color appearance. Use when 
young and tender and they are a delicacy. 
FRUIT—12 inches long and 4 inches in diameter, almost cylindrical, medium green mot- 
tled with light grayish green. 
FLESH—Of appealing flavor, solid, and of fine quality.
