GIANT STRAIGHTNECK 55 Days 
This popular new variety is similar in all respects to the Mammoth or Giant 
Summer Crookneck from which it was selected except that it has a straight 
instead of a curved neck. It has the warty, creamy-gold skin, the large size, 
the fine quality and the earliness of the parent variety. The plants are bushy 
in type, vigorous and productive. 
Italian Vegetable Marrow (Cocozella di Napoli) 65 Days 
Vines of bush habit, producing large, much elongated fruits, dark green at 
first but as they mature becoming marbled with yellow and lighter green in 
stripes. Fruits in best condition for the table when six to eight inches long, 
but can be used when much larger. The young and tender fruits when sliced 
and fried in oil constitute a vegetable delicacy very popular, especially in 
Naples. If fruits are picked when small, may be cooked in bunches like 
Asparagus and plants will blossom and produce for a considerable time if 
fruits are picked often.
