THE STRICKLER SUMMER SQUASH. COCOANUT A magnificent little squash for family use; very prolific, yield-ins; from six to a dozen to the vine. The color is an admixture ofcream and orange ; while the bottom over a circle of two or threeinches in diameter, is of a rich grass-green. The flesh is fine-grained, sweet, and very solid (the squash being remarkably heavyfor its size), and the quality excellent, closely resembling CanadaCrookneck in flavor, but in every way much superior. There isone capital fact true of it, which is well worthy the attention ofall who have trouble in raising squashes, viz., that the Cocoanutwill give a crop when all the standard sorts fail.
