Maulers Winter Squash 



Culture: Winter Squashes require the same general cultural directions as the summer varieties 

 but need a longer growing season to mature. Fruita must remain on the vine until they have 

 fully matured ; gather them before frost, leaving part of the stem attached. Keep in a moderately 

 warm, dry place until used. Handle carefully so as not to bruise them, for bruises may cause 

 decay. Examine fruits in storage from time to time. Many of the Winter Squashes make excel- 

 lent "pumpkin" pie. Because the plants make such a vigorous rampant growth, the hills should 

 be spaced 8 by 8 ft. apart. 



634 Cucuzzi Caravazzi (New) (110 days) 



A New and Interesting Novelty 



The beautiful long, light green fruits should be eaten when young. They will grow to an 

 astounding length, often 5 ft. If the vines are trained over a tall trellis so the fruits can 

 hang down, they will grow strpight. If grown as you would Squash, fruits will be curved. 

 The young fruits are prepared like Squash, delicious stewed or fried and are fine for 

 pies. Try this novel member of the Gourd family; cook it like Squash or Egg Plant, 

 we believe you will agree that it is delicious.
