SPINACH Cultural Hints . — Sow Hound leaved Spinach 
j n aucoea8 i on f rom April to June, and Prickly or

first approach of severe weather. Sow New Zealand Spinach in 
April or May in rows. This seed should be well soaked in warm 
water before sowing. 1 oz. of ordinary Spinach seed will plant 
100 ft. of drill; 12 lb. to the acre in drills. 1 oz. of New Zealand 
Spinach will plant 50 ft. of drill. 
Cultural Hints on Salsify and Scorzonera. 
The ground should be well trenched 
— and manured during autumn. Sow 
during March and April in drills 
about 1 ft. apart. Thin out the plants to from 6 to 8 in. apart 
for Salsify, but allow rather more room for Scorzonera. The roots 
should be taken up in November and stored in the same mannei 
as Carrots.

SQUASH OR VEGETABLE MARROW 
ENGLISH 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 similarly 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.

ties we know of. The fruit will extend to a great length whilst
