One ounce Early will plant 50 hills; i ounce Marrow, 35 hills 



Culture — The plants are very tender and sensitive to cold 

 and planting must be delayed until settled, warm weather. The 

 general principles of culture arc the same as those g^ven for 

 cucumbers and melons, but the plants are less particular as to 

 soil. The summer varieties should be planted 4 feet apart each 

 way. and the winter sorts 8 feet. Three plants are sufficient for 

 a hilL Care should be taken not to break the stems from the 

 Squashes intended for winter use, as the slightest injury will 

 increase the liability to decay.

Culture. — The Tomato -s raised from seed, which should le 

 sown in the hotbed about February 20, and continuous sowings

made until .Xpril 1, according as the plants arc wanted for use

 apart : and, after three or four weeks, transplant from the hot- 

 bed into a coldframe, setting the plants 8 inches apart each way.

 used to protect such plants as are not sufficiently hartly to with- 

 stand our winters.) Keep the plants cool, so as to make them 

 stocky. Set out in the open ground about June i, in well-en^ 

 riched soil, setting the plants 5 feet apart each way. .
