SQUASH 



CULTURE. Sow in hills in the same manner and at 

 I -ne as cucumbers and melons, the bush varieties 

 3 to 4 teet apart, and the running kinds from 6 to 9 feet 

 apart. 



There are two kinds of Squashes — one for sum- 

 mer 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 ar- 

 range 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 up 

 into pics.

 to two weeks earlier than other stocks of White

 tast. Fruits are solid and heavy, with small seed 

 cavity, making excellent shipper. Pkts. 5 and 10

 Farr's Bennings White Bush. Our stock of seed 

 this year was raised by Mr. N*. E. Farr. one of the

 stock. 1 he earliest squash that has come to this 

 market from local gardeners for the past twenty-five 

 years has been from this stock. Fine in appear-
