Heirloom yet uncommon Japanese squash with deeply ribbed, bumpy skin that cures from deep black-green to blue-gray to orange buff.

Productive vines have a medium sprawl and very heavy fruit set.
Bush Delicata

Yellow Crookneck

Vigorous three to four foot bushes provide an abundance of squash. Yellow Straightneck
