RECIPE FOR COOKING 



Curried Turnips 



Take some cooked turnips, fry them in butter with a Httle 

 onion and a tablespoonful of curry powder, a teaspoonful of 

 sugar, one of desiccated cocoanut, a grate of nutmeg, and 

 half a teacupful of milk. Let all stew slowly for an hour. 

 Serve with rice. 



VEGETABLE MARROWS 



Vegetable marrows should be sown in April 

 under glass A temperature of 55° or 60° will 

 soon cause the seed to vegetate. As soon as 

 the plants form a rough leaf, they must be 

 potted off singly in six-inch pots. Return them to 

 a frame till re-established. The plants may then 

 be gradually hardened off by opening the frames 

 in the daytime, and their final planting out should 

 take place at the end of May. It is of no use 

 putting them out earlier, as they are so easily hurt 

 by frost. 



When they have made a good start, the shoots 

 must be stopped to make each throw out from six 

 to eight leading stems, which can be trailed in 

 different directions. As soon as fruit is set extra 

 nutriment can be supplied to any extent by means 

 of frequent applications of liquid manure, and, in 

 dry weather, this assists the plants materially. 



Marrows should be cut, when cut, young, as the 

 flavour is not only more delicate, but the plants 

 will yield several times as many as when allowed 

 to grow to a great size. 



The best kinds to grow are Sutton's Long 

 White, Sutton's Long Cream, Improved Green 

 Bush, and Improved Custard.
