SQU ASH-«vrsis 
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 Mght, 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. Bither 
for baking like sweet potatoes or making pies during the 
winter the quality is unsurpassed. Per pkt. 6c.; % Ib. 
25c.; per lb. 75c. 
Extra Early Jersey White Bush Scalloped.—tThis 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

of solid flesh. % lb. 15c.; Ib. 40c.

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 ® 
smaller seed cavity. Our Fordhook Squash is about ® 
week later than the Early White Bush, but is much 
sweeter and better flavored. An important advantage ip 
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.; 4% Ib. 25c.; lb. T5c.
