Early Bash or Patty Pan. Long Green or Summer rook Neck. © The Hubbard. 
Early Bush, or Patty Pan. Is the earliest and the only pop- 
ular kind here. All other varieties are very little cultivated, as the 
Cashaw Pumpkin, the striped variety, takes their place. It is of dwarf- 
ish habit, grows bushy, and does not take much room. 
- Long Green, or Summer Crook-Neck. ‘This is a very 
strong grower, and continues in bearing longer than the first named 
‘kind. Itis of good quality, but not so popular. 
London Vegetable Marrow. A European variety, very little 
cultivated here. It grows to a good size and is very dry. Color, 
whitish with a yellow tinge. 
The Hubbard. This isa Winter Squash, very inenly esteemed 
in the East, but hardly cultivated here. 
Boston Marrow. Cultivated to a large extent North and East 
for winter use, where it is used for custards, etc. It keeps for a long 
time and is of excellent quality, but not esteemed here, as most people 
eonsider the Southern grown Cashaw Pumpkin superior to any Win- 
ter Squash.

Seed should be sown in January, in hot-beds, or in boxes, which 
must be placed in a sheltered spot, or near windows. In March they 
ean be sown in the open ground. Tomatoes are generally sown too 
thick, and become too crowded when two to three inches high, which 
makes the plants too thin and spindly. If they are transplanted when 
two to three inches high, about three inches apart each way, they will 
become short and sturdy, and will not suffer when planted out into 
the open ground. Plant them from three to four feet apart. Some 
varieties can be planted closer; for instance, for the Extra Early, which 
is of very dwarfish habit, two and a half feet apart is enough.
