DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 19 



SPINACH. 

 50 cts. per lb. 10 cts. per oz. 

 Epinard Fr. Espinaca, Span. Spin at, Ger. 

 Round Leaved Savoy. Prickly Seed. 



For Spring and Summer use, sow as early as the ground can be 

 worked. For Winter and early Spring use, sow in September, in 

 well manured ground ; cover with straw on the approach of cold 

 weather. 



SQUASH. 



10 cts. per oz. 

 Giraumon, Fr. Calabaza, Span. Kurbis, GeR. 



Early Bush, or Patty Pan. Cocoa Nut, or Valparaiso. 



Early Egg, or Apple, bush. Boston Marrow. 



Long Green Crook-neck. New Hubbard, 20 cts. per oz. 



The varieties in the first column are the best for summer use, and the 

 Boston Marrow and Hubbard are superior winter varieties. The Early 

 Bush appears to be the favorite variety for summer use, as it is more 

 extensively grown than any other, and being of a bushy habit, is more 

 sutitable for small gardens than the running kinds. Plant in hills in 

 the same manner, and at the same time, as Cucumbers and melons. 

 The bushes three or four feet apart, and the running kinds from six to 

 nine. 



TOMATO. 



Tomate, Fr. Tomates, Span. Leibes Apfel, Ger. 



Extra Early Red, per oz. 50 cts. Mammoth, per oz. 50 cts. 



Large Smooth Red, " 25 " Large Yellow, " 25 " 



Myers's Dwarf Red, " 50 " Red & Yellow Cherry, " 50 " 



Fejee Island, " 50 " Yellow Plum, " 50 " 



The varieties in the first column are the most desirable for culinary 

 purposes, and ripen in the order in which they are arranged on the list. 

 The Fejee Island is decidedly the best for family use, being of good size, 

 solid, and well flavored, and an abundant bearer, but somewhat late in 

 ripening. For putting up in cans for winter use, it has no superior, 

 containing less water and seeds than any other variety. We consider 

 it indispensable wherever the Tomato is grown. Myers' 's Dwarf 'is a fine 

 variety, valuable on account of its dwarf-bushy growth, and is evidently 

 similar to the variety now offered in France as a novelty. For early 

 use, sow in hot-beds, early in March, and plant out in May, from three 

 to four feet apart.
