Isbell's Plymouth Rock Squash
Improved Banana. Introduced and named by us in 1912, and it has been gaining in popularity ever since. One of the best general purpose squashes yet introduced, because it can be used as either a summer or winter squash. The color of the shell is a bright gray, which does not become as hard as that of the Hubbards, but they are nevertheless an excellent winter keeper and will keep without difficulty until March. Isbell's Plymouth Rock grows from 18 to 30 inches long and from 7 to 12 inches in diameter. The flesh is a deep golden color, entirely free from lumps and stringiness, and very fine grained. They cook quickly and the flavor is the finest imaginable in a squash. The squashes, when about half grown, cook up splendidly as a summer squash. The vines are very vigorous and prolific, and the squashes mature early enough for even the most northern states. Grow Plymouth Rock for home use, for market and exhibition purposes. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; ¼ lb., 45c; lb., $1.50, prepaid.
