Kan., "never had so good a season 

 since being associated with the squash 

 that bears our name," reports C. E. 

 Hubbard. 



J. N. Draper, of Springfield, Mo., a 

 market gardener of note, has liad big 

 success with a bean of recent intro- 

 duction, by name Guada, or New Guinea 

 Butter. From one seed a vine bore 

 thirty-six beans, in shape resembling 

 a mammoth spine cucumber. Grown on 

 an overhead trellis, sliced and cooked 

 as eggplant, it is delicious and promises 

 to be a valuable acquisition to our list 

 of everyday vegetables. 



Charles Lohrman, of the Lohrman 

 Seed Co., Detroit, Mich., observed that 

 while the counter trade exceeded all 

 precedent, he looks for a duplication 

 next year, for the reason that while 

 there were many disappointed war gar- 

 deners, there will be a new crop of 

 workers, especially if the authorities 

 encourage the scheme, as was the case 

 this year. "As I was on the committee 

 of community war gardens, I was able 

 to do good service for the gardeners," 

 said Mr. Lohrman; "in fact, I loaned 

 a large piece of land, well fertilized, 

 free of cost, and saw satisfactory crops 

 grown. But the richest yield to me is 

 that the piece for which I paid $8,000, 

 I have sold for $50,000. " W. M.
