Squash growing is one of our specialties. {It is rather diffi- 
cult to keep squash varieties in line, and we spend considerable 
time and money in producing the finest strains. With the 
exception of Bush Buttercup and Uconn the varieties listed 
on this page send out runners, and sufficient .space should 
be provided for their growth. The fruits are usually eaten after 
they are fully matured, but are fine when picked real young 
and prepared like summer squash. The mature fruits can be 
stored in a-dry cool place for winter use, or they may be 
steamed and frozen.
