SQUASH. 
_ Cultural Hints on Squash arid Vegetable Marrow . — 
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 ft. apart each 
way for the buph varieties and marrows, and 10 to 12 ft. apart 
each w r ay 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 varie- 
ties; 5 to 6 lb. is required to the acre.

RUNNING VARIETIES FOR AUTUMN AND WINTER CROPS. 
67‘J Delicious.- -A winter Squash, considered by squash raisers to 
be a very superior sort, even surpassing the Hubbard in its finished 
qualities. Its colour is an even shade of green, and the flesh 
is a deep orange; it ripens with a compact grain, dry throughout, 
and with a very sweet, tasty flavour. 
682 Improved Hubbard. — This is the most popular and reliable 
old-time winter Squash raised. The skin is coloured a dark 
green, with a fine grained, dry, very rich bright orange flesh of a 
fine flavour. Averages in weight from 10 to 20 lb., and keeps well. 
The shell is very hard. 
683 Golden Hubbard — Very similar to the Improved Hubbard, 
except in colour, which is a reddish yellow. 
684 Mammoth Warted Hubbard.— A strong-growing vine, pro- 
ducing a great number of dark green warted Squashes similar 
in every other way to the Improved Hubbard and very much 
larger.

TOMATO 
VARIETIES 
|T|y£| ICft-l Cultural Hints on Tomatoes— 
bivuui^ii February or March is the proper 
time for starting seasonable plants. 
The plants can be started in the 
greenhouse, hotbed, window box, or most any sunny snot where the 
temperature averages 60 degrees. Sow the seed lightly in rows, and 
when the plants have reached a height of 2 in. transplant to hotbeds 
or boxes. May 15t.h until June 1st is a goo d time for transplanting 
to the open ground. Set the plants deeply 4 ft. apart, mixing a 
good shovelful of well-rotted manure with the soil around each 
plant; water freely ut this time and protect for a few days from 
the sun during midday. Clearer-coloured, good-flavoured, large 
fruit will be obtained by training the plants to a trellis or single 
stake. Tomatoes are rapidly growing in favour as a greenhouse 
vegetable: the forcing varieties do well and produce wonderful 
results. The seeds should be started late in August for a mid- 
winter crop. 1 oz. of seed will produce 2,000 to 3,000 plants.

Carters Golden Sunrise. — 
As in the case of its famous pro- 
totype, Carters Red Sunrise, this 
splendid yellow variety has been 
awarded the First Class Cer- 
tificate by the Royal Horticul- 
tural Society during 1916 — true 
evidence of its superior qualities. We believe this variety has a 
great future before it; it is a heaivy cropper of handsome medium- 
sized fruits. The flavour is remarkably good, being slightly more 
acid than red varieties. ^

1111 Carters Sunrise . — The finest Tomato for indoor or outdoor 
cultivation. An extensive trial of Tomatoes was made by the 
R.H.S., 71 varieties being sent in by the leading houses. The only 
First Class Certificate was given to Carters Sunrise, and the fol- 
lowing note attached to the report: — ■** Tomatoes have reached 
such perfection that it is now very difficult to raise a variety 
superior to those already in commerce. In this trial only one 
stood out as being of exceptional value, viz., Sunrise. , It is some 
time since such a high honour has been granted to a Tomato.
