Description

Squash Early Prolific Straightneck (Cucurbita pepo) is an iconic 1938 All-America Selections winner renowned for its extraordinary productivity, early harvests, and exceptional culinary quality.

Harvested best when young and slender, this highly dependable summer squash is a classic staple for grilling, sautéing, roasting, steaming, and raw slicing into fresh summer salads.
