THE AMERICAN GARDENER. 43 



SAVORY. 



Two sorts, summer and winter. The former is an- 

 nual, anil the latter is perennial. 



SQUASH 



Is, in all its varieties, cultivated like the Cucumber. 



TOMATUM. 



It climbs up very high, and would require bushy sticks. 

 This fruit is used to thicken stews and soups. It is 

 raised from seed only, being an annual.- 



TURNIP. 



The best kinds of turnips are the early white, the flat 

 yellow, and the Swedishy or ruta-baga. The two former 

 sorts should be sown about the end of July, in rows (in a 

 garden) two feet apart, and thinned out to a foot dis- 

 tance in the rows. The Swedish turnip, so generally 

 preferred for table use, ought to be sown early in June, 

 in rows at a foot apart, and thinned to three inches in 

 the rows. About the middle of July they ought to be 

 transplanted upon ridges three feet apart. For preserv- 

 ing turnips during the winter, follow precisely the direc- 

 tions given for the preserviiig of Beets. See Beet.
