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



the Boston Marrow and Hubbard, are superior winter varieties. The 



Earl?/ 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 suitable 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.

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. The

growth. For early use, sow in hot-beds, early in March, and plant 



out in May, from three to four feet apart.

Early Yellow Stone. Purple Top Ruta Baga. 



White Norfolk. Golden Globe Ruta Baga. 



Long White French. White Ruta Baga, or Swedish. 



The first three on the list are the best for table use ; the Flat Butch, 

 is usually sown for early summer use, quite early in the Spring, and 

 also with the Purple Top in July and August, for a main crop. — 

 Robertson's Golden Ball is of recent introduction, and is highly recom- 

 mended for culinary purposes. The Globe, Norfolk and Ruta Baga 

 axe principally used for feeding stock. Sow in July, in drills two feet 

 apart, and thin out to stand six inches apart. Keep the ground well 

 stirred and clear of weeds. As Turnips are grown principally for
