SQUASH—BUSH VARIETIES (Continued) 
WOOD’S EARLY PROLIFIC (Patty Pan Type). (42 
days.) The earliest, meatiest, and most prolific of the 
patty pan type. It will average seven days earlier than 
Early White Bush, matures its fruits quickly. The 
plants are prolific, producing round, smooth, deep, 
thick fruits, slightly scalloped, and of creamy-white 
* color, usually with a light greenish cast, being bulged 
at both stem and blossom ends. A very good variety to 
grow where early squashes of the bush scallop type are 
desired for home use or for shipment.

inches thick when ready to market.

so prolific as Early White Bush. The fruits are thick,

SQUASH - RUNNING VARIETIES 
Plant two pounds per acre of running varieties 
In the garden one packet to 50 feet. 
Culture. Cultural requirements are similar to bush 
squash (see page 30), but running varieties require 
much more room, planting in rows 6 to 8 feet apart and 
hills at least 3 to 4 feet apart. Plant 3 to 5 seeds in 
each hill and thin to two plants when three inches high. 
Generally grown as a spring crop in Florida. 
In these types of squash the vines run 10 to 12 feet. 
The fruits are left on the vines until fully grown with 
a hard rind, and are then harvested by cutting the 
stem. Running squash may be stored in a cool, dry 
place until desired for use, but must be handled care- 
fully to avoid bruising. Unlike bush squash, fruits 
of the running varieties may be stored and used boiled, 
baked or for making squash pies. 
Royal Acorn (Mammoth Table Queen) 
Butternut 
BUTTERNUT. (80 days.) Vines produce pear-shaped 
yellowish brown or deep buff-colored fruits. Fruits 
weigh 2% to 4 lbs., 8 to 10 inches long, and 3 to 4 inches 
in diameter at the largest diameter. The outer shell is 
smooth and hard, making this squash a wonderful 
shipper and keeper. The dry flesh is yellow, fine- 
textured, sweet, and of excellent flavor. Also excellent 
for making pies.

BOSTON MARROW. (95 days.) A very productive 
early maturing variety, making large fruit and matur- 
ing about two weeks earlier than the old Blue Hubbard 
which it resembles in shape. Our strain of this variety 
has an attractive deep-orange skin which is somewhat 
rough and quite hard. Thick, fine grained yellow flesh 
of excellent quality. Useful for canning and for fresh 
market. Can be held for a long time if fully mature 
when harvested and kept in a dry, cool, airy place.

TABLE QUEEN (ACORN). (60 days.) Extremely early 
for a running squash. Makes an enormous yield over 
a long season. Fruits dark green, weighing about 2 lbs., 
with sides deeply ribbed, and with a point at the 
blossom end. Yellow-colored flesh is very fine-grained 
and sweet when baked like Hubbard squash. It is a 
very good keeper and desirable for home and market 
use, also for shipping.

ROYAL ACORN (MAMMOTH TABLE QUEEN). (65 
days.) To meet an increasing demand in Florida for a 
larger fruited strain of the Table Queen or Acorn 
Squash, we are offering this large-fruited strain. It is 
slightly later than regular Table Queen, not quite so 
prolific but the fruits are consistently larger and of a 
darker green color. In other respects this strain is 
similar to the regular Table Queen.
