EARLY PROLIFIC STRAIGHTNECK. The 
standard yellow summer squash in many 
parts of the country. The plants are of 
bush type, leafy, and vigorous, producing 
heavily over a long period if young fruits 
are kept picked. The fruits are attractive, 
lemon yellow, tapering towards the stem 
end, tender and succulent at prime picking 
stage, 5”-6” long. The asGrow strain is 
kept at the top for uniformity, quality, 
and productivity. 
EARLY YELLOW SUMMER CROOKNECK. 
Extensively used in the South and other 
areas for yellow summer squash. The 
plants are very prolific; the fruits, nor- 
mally picked at 5”-6”, are curved at the 
neck and light yellow at prime picking 
stage. Growers for the critical markets 
where this variety is popular have long 
recognized the asGRow stock as being the 
standard of comparison for yields, quality 
and trueness to type. 
LONG COCOZELLE. A green-fleshed sum- 
mer squash of Italian marrow type, not 
quite so prolific as some of the yellow- 
fleshed varieties, but preferred in many 
markets for its flavor and quality. This 
special long strain of Cocozelle has been 
selected and maintained by asGrow for 
its heavier productivity, for its uniformity, 
and for the attractive appearance of the 
slender, dark green fruits striped with 
lighter green.
