f VEGETABLE MARROW (Cucurbita ovifera) 
CULTURE. — The seed may he sown in a slight heat, the end of March , and shifted from the 
pots about, the middle of May , ichen, select an open piece of ground and throw out holes from two to 
three feet square , and one foot deep , which should be at. least 12 feet apart , the soil thrown out being used 
to raise the sides. A layer of dry leaves or litter should be spread over the bottom , and afterwards a 
sufficient, quantity of ordinary good soil, wherein a small portion of leaf soil and spent manure has been 
mixed to refill it. The plants being hardened off \ should receive at the time of planting a good watering , 
and be shaded and protected as long as necessary. Plan ted in this manner they make firmer and shorter 
jointed growth, are more prolific , less water required, and. are not so liable to go off' when in full bearing , 
as often happens under a more forcing treatment. They can also be grown with success outdoors by 
putting in a few seeds the first week in May , where they are to remain.
