Choice Vegetable Seeds 



SQUASHES 



SUMMER AND WINTER 



(a^.nei=ilurbiB) 



Squash seed should be planted about the same 

 time and in much the same manner as cucum- 

 bers and melons. The hills should be 9 feet 

 apart each way, slightly elevated and highly 

 manured. Bush varieties may be planted closer 

 together. Use plenty of seed, as the bugs will 

 destroy some plants. An ounce of seed will 

 plant from 20 to 30 hills.

TOMATOES 



Dwarf Champion Tomato 



(iicbe5d).ifcl) 



Ftr early use, sow in February or March 

 in a hotbed or in boxes or pots set in the 

 warm window. When the seedlings are 

 about 2 inches high transplant them to pots, 

 or in rows 4 or 5 inches apart, keeping 

 the temperature at about 60°. Subse- 

 quent transplantings will make them 

 branching and stocky, but do not set them 

 in the open ground until all danger from 

 frost is past; then plant them in a warm, 

 sunny place, and water them freely until 

 they are well established. Some support 

 which will keep the fruit above the ground 

 and free from dirt should be given all 

 plants. An ounce of seed will produce 

 about 1,000 plants.
