SQUASH 
Do not sow the seed in spring until lasting warm weather is assured. A warm, mellow, well- 
manured soil suits them best. The seed should be planted in hills about 4 feet apart each way for the 
bush varieties and marrows, and 10 to 12 ft. apart each way for the running varieties. Plant 12 
to 15 seeds in each hill to offset any loss by insects or disease. When danger of such loss is 
past, thin to three or four plants to the hill. Winter sorts may be planted with corn, using four or 
five seeds in every fourth or fifth hill at the same time the corn is planted. 1 oz. of seed will 
plant 50 hills of the early sorts, and 30 hills of the later varieties; 5 to 6 lb. is required to the acre.

VEGETABLE MARROW 
The vegetable Marrow Squashes are of English 
production and should be more generally used in 
this country as they are far superior in every 
way to our summer Squash. They will grow 
well anywhere with just a little care, and the 
results are more than satisfying. When the fruit 
is from half to three quarters grown prepare simi- 
larly to Squash or slice and fry, like Egg Plant, 
and the superiority in both cases is remarkable. 
All the varieties of Marrows that we offer for 
planting were planted with great results last year, 
and we predict a great future for this vegetable.

riety, the very best for gardens thait lie in a bleak and 
exposed position. Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c., lb. $3.00.
