A summer squash borne on bush vines, yielding fruits up to 14" (35 cm) long. Uniform lemon-yellow, lightly-warted, club shaped fruit. Bush plants are vigorous and very productive. Firm fine grained thick flesh of excellent eating quality. Heirloom variety.
Culture: Requires very rich soil as squash if a voracious feeder. Sow 6-8 seeds in groups (hills) 3'-4' (90-120 cm) apart. In the south, sow fall and spring. Thin to 2-3 plants per group. Water regularly from time of flowering until fruits ripen.
Harvest: Between 42-56 days, fruits are best at between 4"-7" (10-17.5 cm) long. Very popular in the north because of early ripening.
Nutrition: High in vitamin C.
