392 LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE: 45 
days. We especially recommend this strain 
for early spring plantings. Only a few days 
later than Bloomsdale Savoy, it holds much 
longer without going to seed. Plants large, 
very uniform, erect and sturdy, with very 
attractive, highly crumpled and_blistered 
dark green leaves. See prices below. 
395 NORTHLAND: 45 days. A dark green 
selection from Nobel spinach. The huge 
smooth leaves are very succulent and of 
splendid quality. This variety will produce 
more tonnage per acre than any other sort, 
and is slow in going to seed. A good sort 
for the home garden and especially good 
for canning. See prices below.

The first ten days of bearing, Yankee Hybrid will 
produce nearly twice as many fruits as will Early 
Prolific. This usually is the time summer squash 
brings in the money. 
550 YANKEE HYBRID: 50 days. Not only 
first to ripen but yields more than other 
yellow varieties on the early pickings and 
throughout the season. Yankee Hybrid’s 
remarkable earliness and vigor have made it 
the most popular yellow squash with many 
growers. It is a true first generation (Fj) 
hybrid. The squash are fine in type — ex- 
tremely uniform with straight thick necks. 
The skin is slightly roughened and has a 
glowing waxy yellow color. Quality is ex- 
cellent. See prices below.
