hi the South we have a winter Squash (Kershaw or ' Cushaun ') which 

 is cut into large segments and haked without peeling, hut discarding tho 

 seeds. Served with drawn hutter sauce. 



Wo also have summer Squashes of two kinds — one white, flat, and 

 disc-liko, the other yellow, known as the ' Crook-neck.' These are 

 cooked like tho English Vegetahle-marrow, and also are prepared like fried 

 Egg-plant. Indeed, when substituted for Egg-plant they are most easily 

 disguised. 



Tho balsam (described by Mr. Odell) is often formed into a liniment by 

 placing half-a-dozen of the fruits — seeds and rind — into a pint of whiskey 

 or brandy. It is an excellent remedy for cuts, burns, and rheumatism.
