generation hybrid squash has compact bush vines and smoother, 
deeper colored fruit. The type resembles Early Yellow Prolific, perhaps 
slightly shorter and thicker but very attractive. It is remarkably 
smooth skinned and the color is a deep rich butter yellow all over 
without streaks or mottling. Not glossy except when very young. This 
is an interesting, heavy-yielding new squash that we recommend for 
trial by both home and market growers. See photo on page 6.

SWISS CHARD 
A packet of seed will sow

greens early in the spring.
