half an inch deep, early in April. "WTien well up. thin to six inches apart.

 1 LARGE SQUASH, 2 LAKGE BELL, OR BULL ^-OSE. 



KiND.s. — No 1 is tomato-shaped, very mild and pleasant to the taste, and 

 is used lor pickling alone. No. 2 is of a more square form, thick, hard, mild; 

 suitable for filling with cabbage, etc., and for a stuffed pickle. 



Culture. — Sow very early in spring, in hot-bed. Transplant when three 

 inches high, one foot apart, in eighteen inch drills, and earth up a little at one 

 or two hoeings. Guano, or bird manure applied to the surface of the ground, 

 will be found to increase the product wonderfully.

Kinds. — We recommend for first crop, Nos. 1 and 2; for second early, Nos- 

 3, 4 and 6; for late crop, Nos. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13; Nos. 14, 15. 16 and 17 are 

 dwarf varieties, and require no sticks; 17 is very dwarf and green wrinkled, 

 and of most delicious flavor. For a late Pea, No. 12 is unsurpassed. 



Cdlture. — Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, in 

 double rows, three or four feet apart, and cover two and a h.ilf or three inches 

 deep. If dry. poak the seed a few hours before planting. The crop should he 

 gatherefl as fast as it becomes jit for use. U only a few pods begin to ripen, 

 young pods will not only cea.«e to form, but those partly advanced will cease to 

 enlarge.
