Long Green Crook-neck:. New Hubbard, per oz. 20 cts. 



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

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

 Early 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.
