MAKKOW — LONG WHITE. 
VEGETABLE MARROW. 
CULTURE. The seed may 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 oat holes from 2 to 3 feet square and 
1 foot deep, which should be at least 12 feet apart, the soil thrown ont being used to raise the sides. A layer 
of^ dry leaves or litter should be spread over the bottom, and afterwards a snfHcient 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 
neceMary. 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 wiih ruccess outdoors by putting in a few seeds the first week in May, where they are to 
remain. p ^
