GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK 59-65 days 
This summer squash has now almost entirely re- 
placed the old Crookneck type, in both home and 
commercial gardens. It differs from the old Crookneck 
only in shape; the neck instead of being curved is 
straight. The fruit is of large size and light yellow in 
color. On account of the straight neck, it is freer from 
breakage after being packed.

more prolific. The plant is definitely a bush type, its 
deeply cut leaves making it resistant to wind dam- 
age. 30 fruits per plant are not unusual. The fruits

A very productive hybrid developed by the Ccn-

of a cross between Connecticut Straightneck and

market gardeners who grow squash for the early
