Frotscher's Green Striped Cashaw 



Crook Neck. Tiiis is extensively 

 cultivated in the South for table use. 

 The flesh is fine grained, yellow, very 

 sweet, and better than any Winter 

 Squash. It keeps w'ell; it takes the 

 place here of Winter Squash, which 

 are very little cultivated. The striped 

 variety has been cultivated here for 

 a century and never was found North 

 or West. Some years ago it was 

 brought out by Northern seedsmen as 

 Japan Pie Pumpkin. We had this 

 kind grown along side of Frotscher's 

 Green Striped Cashaw and found it 

 one and the same.

CULTURE. — This is a popular vegetable, and grown to a large extent. The 

 ground for radishes should be rich and mellow. The early small varieties can be 

 sown broadcast among other crops, such as beets, peas, spinach, or where lettuce 

 has been transplanted. Early varieties are sowm in this section the w^hole year, 

 but during summer they require freauent watering to make them grow quickly. 

 The Yellow Summer Turnip or Golden Globe, White Summer Turnip and White 

 Strasburg are best for planting during the Summer months.
