Hastings’ Mammoth White Bush Squash. 
SQUASH 
HASTINGS’ MAMMOTH WHITE BUSH is early, uni¬ 
form and prolific; has beautiful, clear white skin and 
flesh, and grows 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Pine for 
family gardens. EARLY WHITE BUSH is the well 
known White Scalloped or Patty Pan Squash. One of 
the earliest to mature and very productive. GOLDEN 
CUSTARD is much larger than any other scalloped varie¬ 
ty. It’s nothing unusual to find them 2 feet in diameter 
when planted in a rich, moist soil. EARLY YELLOW 
BUSH is identical with Early White Bush, except in 
color, which is bright golden yellow. GIANT SUMMER 
CROOKNECK is an extra large variety of Crookneck 
and yet of fine quality. We recommend this variety most 
highly. YELLOW SUMMER CROOKNECK is the old, 
well-known Crookneck variety for home gardens; fruits 
small, of bright orange yellow color and of rich, buttery 
flavor. RUNNING OR MARROW SQUASHES are distinct 
from the bush or running varieties, the vines running 10 
to 12 feet long and the squashes are 6 to 12 pounds in 
weight; in flavor much richer than Summer Squashes. 
BOSTON MARROW is the most popular variety; of rath¬ 
er light yellow shade, with thin rind and extra good 
quality. EARLY PROLIFIC MARROW is rather more 
prolific and one week earlier. IMPROVED HUBBARD is 
not recommended for Atlanta section, although some get 
good results with it.

RADISHES 
Radishes are very easily grown, but for best results 
require a rich, loose, moist soil for rapid growth. The 
crisp, tender flesh of early radishes depends almost en¬ 
tirely on rapid growth. Successive plantings should be 
made every 10 days or 2 weeks for a continuous supply. 
For early use plant the round or button and olive shap¬ 
ed radishes; for later use plant half-long and long va¬ 
rieties, as they root deeper and resist heat and drought. 
Winter radishes are planted in August and September. 
Sow thinly in drills one foot apart and cover seed % inch. 
One ounce sows 100 feet of row.
