SQUASH 
G er. — Kurbiss. 
Scaud. — Sqnash-QraeBkar. 
(One ounce to 25 liHls; 3 to 4 lbs. to the acre.) 
There are two distinct types. Tlie Summer is cultivated for 
the tender young; fruits which are use 1 in the green or growing 
stage during the summer months. The Winter Squashes pro- 
duce larger hard-sliell fruits, which are gathered in the fall be- 
fore there is danger of their being injured by frost, and stored 
In a warm, dry place for winter use. A few of the varieties, 
notably Fordhook, may be used in either state.

fulness with the Chicago Warted Hubljard, the chief distinc- 
tion being that the heavily warted sltin is of a rich orange 
yellow, turning to a deep salmon red when ripened. It is of 
most attractive appearance, fine in quality, and should be one 
of tlie most profitable market sorts.
