Burpee's Bush Fordhook Squash Squash
Being of “bush growth,” the plants can be grown much more closely together. The fruits are rather shorter and thicker than those of the running type; they are also thicker fleshed and have a smaller seed cavity, but unfortunately do not come as true to type. Our Fordhook Squash is about a week later than the Early White Bush; it is much sweeter and better flavored. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; ¼ lb., 40c; lb., $1.25; postpaid.
