 tive; best for stock. 

 ^I/arge Cheese. This is of a 

 bright orange, sometimes salmon 

 color, fine grained, and used for ta- 

 ble or stock feeding. 



Cashaw Crook Neck. This is 

 extensively cultivated in the South 

 for table use. There are two kinds, 

 one all yellow and and the other 

 green striped with light yellow color. 

 The latter is the preferable 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 verv little cultivated. The

striped variety has been culti- 

 vated here since a century and 

 never was found North or West; 

 within a few years it has beea 

 brought out by Northern seeds-

 kin." We had this kindgrowa 

 alongside of the Souther* 

 Striped Cashaw and found it 

 one and the same.

 This is a very large Pumpkin. 

 Flesh and skin are of a bright 

 golden color, fine grained, and

This is a popular vegetable, and grown to a large extent. The ground for radishes 

 should be rich and mellow. The early small varieties can be sown broad-cast 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 th^y require frequent watering 

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

 burgh 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 



Southern Grown Finit Trees are the Best.
