| I grew this alongside normal zucchini plants. The taste was superior, sweet and nutty, and it out-produced all other varieties of my summer squash that I had planted. I had less problems with mildew, and no insect damage. I have decided to switch to Magda cousa for all my summer squash planting for next year. |

| Short and fat cousa variety. Very good taste, but not quite as good as Salman. |

| Excellent producer, no sign of sqaush bugs, loves the heat, fruit is excellent in all meals, but pick young as seeds can get big, better quality than yellows and zucks. |

| A very productive Lebanese type. Fruits are uniform but short and fat. It yields with Clarimore but it just is not as attractive to me as the longer slimmer Clarimore. Taste is competitive. Over all a very good cultivar. |
