YANKEE HYBRID Bronze Medal 1941 . 50-54 days 
This is a true single-cross hybrid, like the hybrid corns. The parents are 
an inbred strain of CONNECTICUT STRAIGHTNECK and an inbred strain of 
EARLY PROLIFIC STRAIGHTNECK. The hybrid and the parent inbreds were 
all developed by Dr. L. C. Curtis of the Connecticut Station. The plant 
and fruit characters are intermediate between the parental types and the 
hybrid vigor or heterosis in this hybrid is seen not only in a little larger, 
more vigorous plant, but chiefly in a more prolific development of early 
fruits. Because of this, YANKEE HYBRID is a very valuable and distinctive 
contribution to gardeners who want heavy yields on the earliest market.
