table use. There are two kinds, 

 one all yellow and the other 

 green striped with light yellow 

 color. The latter is the prefer- 

 able kind; the flesh is fine 

 grained, yellow, very sweet 

 and better than any Winter 

 Squash. It keeps well; it takes 

 the place here of the Winter 

 Squashes, which are very little 

 cultivated. The striped variety 

 has been cultivated here siece 

 a century p nd never was found 

 ISIorth or West; within a few 

 years it has been brought out 



y Northern seedsmen as "Ja- 



an Pie Pumpkin." We 



ad this kind grown alongside 

 of the Southern Striped Ca- 

 shaw and found it one and the 

 same.

Tip. 



to a large extent. The ground for radishes 

 varieties can be sown broadcast among other 



crops, such as beets, peas, spinach, or where lettuce has been transplanted. Early varieties 

 are sown in this section the whole year, but during summer they require frequent water- 

 ing to make them grow quickly. The Golden Globe, White Summer Turnip and White 

 Strasburgh are best for planting during the summer months. The Half Long Scarlet 

 French is the only red kind raised for the New Orleans market, and all the other cities in 

 the United States taken together do not use as many of that one variety as New Orleans 

 does.
