1 He searcn tor newer, rasuer, more productive vegetables goes on and on. This year's crop of newcomers includes 2 varieties of squash, one summer and one winter, plus a new hybrid cabbage.
The summer squash is a greenish-white version of the old Patty Pan. It's a first generation hybrid called St. Pat Scallop.
Early to mature fruit, continuous in bearing, it has the further advantage of being the bush type, thus taking less room in the garden than a vining type would.
As you know, summer squash truils should be picked when young and tender. At this stage St. Pat Scallop fruits are shining pale green.
Their color turns white as they age and thereby become unusable for eating.
The winter squash is named Kindred; was developed in Kindred, North Dakota. It is unique in that the growth is bushy for half the season but short runners appear later, making it a semi-vine.
Fruits are shaped like those of Buttercup; have deep o-ange colored flesh under a gold skin. They are of medium size, about 3 Vi inches thick, 6 to 7 inches wide, with inch-thick flesh.
The hybrid cabbage, Harvester Queen, is believed to be absolutely resistant to the disease called cabbage “yellows”. This alone should make it especially desirable to the home gardener.
The variety is medium early to reach picking size; has large globe-shaped heads that are uniform in size, shape and maturity.
Inside the dark blue-green outer leaves is a very solid interior with a medium-size core. Heads become 6 to 8 inches in both diameter and depth; weigh to over 5 pounds each.
