Summer Crookneck Squash
The richest and best sort for summer; very early and productive. It is small, crooked neck, covered with warty excrescences, the more the better; color bright yellow; shell very hard when ripe. It is used only when young and tender, which may be known by the pressure of the thumb nail through the skin.
