Progress No. 9 
Note Size of the Pods 
829 UCONN SQUASH 
All-America Gold Medal Winner 
(80 days.) Is a Table Queen type, but set on a bush 
plant rather than a vine plant. To the space-conscious 
home gardener this is a very good variety. Fruits are 
dark green with slight “flecking.” Almost every fruit 
is perfect. After one crop is mature, seems to start on 
to produce a complete second crop, but whether the 
second crop is able to mature in season is questionable. 
Pkt., 25c; oz., 50c; 14 Ib., $1.75; 14 Ib., $3.00.
