Carmell & Sons’ Complete Seed Guide. 
VEGETABLE MARROW. 
(Cucurhita ovifera.) 
CULTURE . — The seed may be sown in a slifcht heat the end of 
March, and shifted from the pots abont the middle of May, when select an 
open piece of ground and throw ont holes from 2 to 3 feet square and 
1 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, i 
to refill it. The plants being hardened off, should receive at the time of j 
planting a good watering, and be shaded and protected as long as necessary, i 
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.
