Maule's seed catalogue : 1896 . PORDHOOK.—The flesh is dry and very sweet. A goodkeeper; if placed in a cool, dry room keeps in perfect conditionuntil late in June. Skin is so very thin and delicate that thesquashes are prepared for the table by simply cutting in half, lengthwise, and cooking skin and all at any time throughout thewinter. Ripen*! earlier than any other winter squash. Maturesfar north, where scarcely any other varieties even ripen. It is aseasily grown on all soils as the small Canada Crookneck. Themeat is very thick and seed cavity small. In appearance theyare handsome and attractive, of a bright yellow outside, and astraw yellow within. The green squashes can be used at anystage of their growth; thus Fordhook is really an all-the-year- I round squash, and must prove of great value, both for marketand family gardens.
