Harris’ Hybrid Cocozelle 
Big yields of fine-flavored squash. 
775 CASERTA. Extra Early, Prolific Cocozelle Squash. 
50 days. For those who enjoy the delightful flavor of summer squash, 
Caserta is a real treat. It ripens as early as any variety—producing 
well when others are only beginning to bear—and it yields heavily all 
through the season. The coloring is unusual, light glossy green, mottled 
with darker spots. Thin-skinned and fresh looking, it has a long oval 
shape with short thick necks. 
Like other Cocozelle types, we think Caserta’s flavor is far superior 
to most yellow summer squash. Profitable for roadside stands and 
fine for the home garden.

runners, and may be planted in hills 3 or 4 ft. apart each way. For best 
eating, pick the fruit while they are still young and tender—some 
people like them when still very tiny. Keep the vines picked and they 
will bear throughout the season.
