SQUASH KURBiS 



1 oz. of bush sorts to 40 hills of lgs. seeded 15 hills. 



2 lbs. of bush sorts to acre of lgs. seeded 34 to acre. 



Squashes, like other vines, are partial to a light, dry, 

 rich soil. Plant the running varieties in hills ten feet 

 apart each way; thin out to three plants in a hill. Culti- 

 vate frequently until the vines commence running, after 

 which do not work the soil deep. Use Paris Green to 

 destroy bugs, as with Cucumbers. Plant Bush Squashes 

 in hills five feet apart each way; thin out to four plants 

 in a hill. 



Fordhook Squash. 



Fordhook Squash. — This is a most desirable running 

 variety for both summer and winter use. The vines are 

 of strong vigorous growth and wonderfully productive. 

 Fruits oblong in form, eight to ten inches in length,! 

 slightly ridged, smooth thin yellowish skin; flesh very, 

 thick and of a light straw-yellow. If gathered young for 

 cooking, no other Squash — except the new Burpee's Bush 

 Fordhook— approaches it in flavor, while if allowed to 

 ripen on the vine they can be stored and will keep, in ex- 

 cellent condition until late the following June. Either 

 for baking like sweet potatoes or making pies during the 

 winter the quality is unsurpassed. Per pkt. 5c; % lb. 

 25c; per lb. 75c 



Extra Early Jersey White Bush Scalloped.— This Is an 



improved strain of the Old White Bush. It sets fruit ten 

 days earlier; of a beautiful clear waxy white instead of 

 the greenish white often seen. "Very productive and 

 shows less ridge or scallop; containing a larger amount 

 of solid flesh. & lb. 15c; lb. 40c

 all summer, and commands good prices. Very desirable 

 for market and private use. Pkt. 5c; % lb. 15c; lb. 40c

 firm shell, fine grain, sweet and rich flavor, and excellent

Boston Marrow. 



Bush Fordhook Squash.— In this new true bush type the 

 plants can be grown much more closely together. The 

 fruits are rather shorter and thicker than those of the 

 running type; they are also thicker fleshed and have a 

 smaller seed cavity. Our Fordhook Squash is about a 

 week later than the Early White Bush, but is much 

 sweeter and better flavored. An important advantage is 

 that any fruits not needed for summer use can be left to 

 ripen on the plants and gathered for winter use. They 

 are unsurpassed for baking, frying, or making pies; while 

 stored in a dry place they will keep in good condition 

 until the following June. Pkt. 5c; 14 lb. 20c; lb. 75c
