 Remarks. 



In the first section, Marrows which are used in a young and 

 tender condition, the typical representative is the old white 

 Vegetable Marrow. Many variations of this exist, more or less 

 distinct in form, size, colour, or productiveness. The larger 

 forms find favour in market gardens, and the smaller — such as 

 Hibberd's Marrow and Pen-y-Byd— in private establishments. 

 These smaller forms are, moreover, of finer quality. The Custard 

 Squashes are quite distinct in form, and very ornamental. 

 Marrows should be used in a much younger state than they 

 generally are ; indeed, in their young state almost every one of 

 the Gourds and Pumpkins may be used, and are so used in many 

 parts. Of Gourds and Pumpkins intended for winter use in 

 making soup, &c, varieties with thick flesh are most suitable. 

 The large yellow Mammoth is a typical form, being large and 

 fleshy. Some of the smaller forms are, however, more useful, 

 one of the best being Yokohama, which is very solid and good.
