SQUASH — SUMMER VARIETIES — Continued 
EARLY YELLOW BUSH, SCALLOPED 55 
It is similar in all respects to the Early White Bush except in the color 
of the skin, which is a golden yellow. It is not quite so prolific, nor is 
it as widely used. 
GIANT STRAIGHTNECK 55 
A distinct improvement on the Crookneck strain as it packs to better ad- 
vantage for shipping. Popular with market gardeners and shippers. Plant 
is of bush type; fruits thicknecked, heavily warted, straight, lemon yellow 
in color; flesh thick, light yellow. 
SWEET POTATO OR DELICATA 55 
Early and very prolific; of oblong shape. Ground color orange-yellow 
splashed and striped with very dark green. Although of small size the 
squashes are very solid and heavy while the quality is rich and dry. 
ITALIAN VEGETABLE MARROW 60 
A distinct variety of squash of bush form. Fruit grows to a length of 
about 20 or more inches, with a diameter of 3 to 4 inches; skin smooth, 
of a dark green color, marbled with yellow or with paler green. All 
through Italy, where the squash is grown, the fruits are eaten when quite 
young, sometimes even before the flower has opened. 
YANKEE HYBRID 56 
Originated by the Conn. Agricultural Experiment Station; a single cross 
hybrid, resulting from carefully controlled crossing of two inbreds. The 
Conn. Station has shown that it pays gardeners to use this hybrid where 
they depend on most of their returns from the earliest market, All America 
B. M. 1941. Fruit, similar in all respects to Early Prolific Straightneck. 
Flesh, white, fine texture and flavor. 
BLACK ZUCCHINI 62 
Developed from Italian Marrow. Fruits are cylindrical, long, smooth, 
dark green-black; flesh greenish white at eating stage and of good flavor. 
Length about 13 inches; diameter 9 inches. 
ZUCHINI, SMALL SHORT COCOZELLA 60 
Fruits weigh 3 to 4 pounds, nearly cylindrical, straight. Color medium 
green mottled with cream-grey and lighter green stripes; flesh very firm 
and of delicate flavor. Plant is of bush type. 
SQUASH—WINTER VARIETIES 
ACORN, DES MOINES OR TABLE QUEEN 90 
A_ trailing variety producing acorn-shaped fruit with a thin, distinctly 
ribbed, dark green shell; 6 inches long by 4% inches in diameter. Flesh 
_ light yellow and bakes well. 
JUMBO OR MAMMOTH TABLE QUEEN 95 
Fruits are 7-8 inches long and 5 to 5% inches in diameter, weighing 2 to 3 
Ibs. Flesh is medium thick, pale orange, tender, dry, sweet, flavorful; 
good keeper. 
GOLDEN TABLE QUEEN 75 
An attractive squash, deep orange in color with semi-bush plants, there- 
fore it can be planted same as bush squash. It is uniform and prolific— 
our only criticism is that the flesh is somewhat thin, but the quality is 
equal to the green strain. Size, 5x4.
