CULTURE. Sow in hills in the same manner and at the same time as 

 cucumbers and melons, the bush varieties 3 to 4 feet apart, and the run- 

 ning kinds from 6 to 9 feet apart. 



There are two kinds of squashes — one for summer use for cooking in the 

 tender green state, and the other for storing for winter use. 



Owing to the high cost of meat, one should arrange for a bountiful 

 supply of both the Summer and Winter varieties, as the former may be 

 fried and served like egg-plant and the latter are very palatable when 

 stewed and served alone or made Into pies.

Variety, see page 6). It is with great satisfaction that we can

 being an exceptionally heavy cropper. The color is a beau- 

 tiful green tinted white possessed by no other variety. The 

 flavor is delicious, having few small seeds and is an excellent 

 cooker. The strain which we offer is that originated by Mr.

CULTURE. One ounce of tobacco produces at least 10,000 plants if sown 

 properly. It is advisable to sow as early as possible, the usual custom 

 being to make a large fire over the place intended for the seed-bed, in 

 order to destroy weed seeds. The ground is put in the finest possible con- 

 dition, the seed sown broadcast on the surface and pressed down firmly 

 with a plank or the back of a spade, after which the bed must be pro- 

 tected by cottons or covering. When, seedlings get 5 or 6 inches high, 

 they are transplanted in rows 4 feet apart, with 3 feet between the plants. 

 Cultivate thoroughly.
