Cannell & Sons’ Complete Seed Guide. 
VEGETABLE MARROW 
( Cucurbila ovifcra). 
CULTURE.—' The seed nmy be sown in a slight heat the end of 
March, and shifted from the pots about the middle of' May, when 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. 
Planted 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.
