Though 'Table Gold' could be harvested as a summer squash or left on the vine to ripen and have the rind harden for winter storage, virtually all of them were harvested as summer squash, and not left on the vine late in the season. Table Gold' 90 days. A dual-purpose squash.

J.W. Jung Seed Co. 'Whitaker' 65 days. Whitaker is an open-pollinated summer squash that has great disease resistance. Compact bush plants are erect and hold fruits up off the ground for less loss and easier picking. Fruits are a medium-green with dark green stripes, and straight with blocky ends. The white, firm flesh cooks up firmer than other varieties.
