PEPO. Squash. From Dr. Gustav
Eisen, Rome, Italy. A peculiar kind
of squash which is eaten green and
while the flower is yet adherent to the
fruit, and never when the fruit is ripe.
It is most delicious when boiled and
seasoned with fresh butter, and is fully 
equal to tender green peas, though
of a different flavor.

kong, China. A thorny shrub or tree,
which can be utilized for hedges. Related 
to Osage Orange. Fruits bright

with Osage Orange, or the
