BREEDERS AND GROWERS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS 23 SQUASH Squash has lent itself excellently to freezing, both color and taste being well preserved. Orange-skinned varieties are preferred, as in canning, because minute pieces of skin left after separator treatment are not noticeable. Of all the vegetables, squashes exhibit the greatest range in plant and fruit characters and hybridize most readily under average field conditions. Consequently they are given special care and attention on our breeding grounds in Colorado, California and Connecticut. Pedigreed lines are established by covering flowers with bags to control pollination. Increase blocks are grown in fields well-isolated from any other squash variety.
