GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK 59-65 days 
This summer squash has now almost entirely replaced 
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.

(ALL-AMERICA SELECTION) Gold Medal 1949 
Developed by Dr. L. C. Curtis and introduced by us, this 
is a Cocozelle type but is earlier and much more prolific. 
The plant is definitely a bush type, its deeply cut leaves 
making it resistant to wind damage. 30 fruits per plant 
are not unusual. The fruits are 6 to 7 inches long and 1 
to 1% inches thick at best market stage. They are light 
glossy green with broken stripes of dark green, and have 
the quality of appearing fresh long after picking. The 
yield is extremely heavy.

YANKEE HYBRID 50-54 days 
Bronze Medal 1941 
A very productive hybrid developed by the Connecticut 
Agricultural Experiment Station. It is the result of a 
cross between Connecticut Straightneck and Early Prolific 
Straightneck. It produces twice the quantity of early fruit 
compared with yields from either of its parents. We 
(ALL-AMERICA SELECTION) 
recommend it especially to market gardeners who grow 
squash for the early market.
