The Cultivation of Vegetable Marrow .— Sow iu heat during April, and transplant into highly-manured bed when ready and all chances of 
frost are past; or sow under a hand-glass in May upon a richly-manured border. 
657 Epicure, Carters.— After repeated culinary trials in our 
kitchens, we consider this one of the best flavoured varieties in 
cultivation. Small specimens, cooked whole, are delicious, but 
in order to enjoy the full flavour, fruit should be cut when about 
8 in. in diameter. As a forcing kind it is splendid, and to illus- 
trate its prolific character, we may state that from plants which 
started bearing in May we have cut good fruit on September 30th, 
the frames having been taken off the plants during June. Fruits 
are green, flecked with white, habit semi-trailing. Gold Medals 
awarded to our Exhibits at Portsmouth and Ipswich. (See 
Photograph.) 
“ Your Marrow Epicure is excellent either for forcing or main- 
crop outdoors, of superior flavour and exceptionally prolific.” —

the very best for gardens that lie in a bleak and exposed 
position. Included iu four of our Gold Medal Collections during 
1921. (See Photograph.) Per pkt., — /G, 1/-, and 1/3 
6G5 Improved Custard. -Curious and ornamental fruit, of fine 
delicate flavour. Awarded, with Carters other Vegetables, three 
Gold Medals in 1914. Per pkt., -16. 1/-, and 1/6 
663 Vegetable Marrow — Custard Hybrids.— We secured 
from Mr. Herbert Chapman the whole slock of his new Hybrid 
Vegetable Marrows, which were unanimously awarded a Silver- 
gilt Knightian Medal by the Royal Horticultural Society. 
These are the result of crossing the Custard Marrow with a small 
elongated form of superior qjuality. The distinctive flavour of 
the Custard parent has been retained in the hybrids, which 
exhibit a remarkable diversity of form. It will be found that 
even those varieties approximating more nearly to the elongated 
Vegetable Marrow are very much better flavoured than existing 
varieties. Our culinary staff are unanimous in their praise 
of the superior flavour of these hybrids. Per pkt.,-/6, 1/-, and 1/6

Cultural Hints . — To grow Mushrooms successfully the following requirements are essential: — Procure fresh stable manure (straw litter 
manure, not peat litter), shake out well, leaving as little straw as possible ; the better the manure the better the bed will bear. After shaking out. 
stack your short manure closely like as for the preparation of a hot-bed, and there let it remain for a week to have a good heating, then turn it 
over and place what has been outside the heap into the centre ; repeat this turning at intervals of three days (four turnings should be sufficient), 
and if dry, use water enough to moisten it gradually at each turning ; this will get the material into right condition for the beds, as moisture is 
one of the most important points to study, and the right texture of the material depends almost entirely upon this proper state of moisture. If 
you get your material right in this respect, whatever shape you make your beds, whether flat beds or ridges, you will not be likely to experience 
any trouble afterwards. It should be remarked here that the ideal temperature is 5.5° to 60 J , but Mushrooms do come at a much lower temperature 
very slowly ; a higher temperature than 60° should be avoided if possible. Where Mushrooms are grown continuously indoors the place should 
be disinfected or limcwashed occasionally to prevent mildew and other injurious fungi attacking the beds.
