Delicious Boston Marrow Quality Warren Blue Hubbard

The “bush” varieties like Straightneck, Italian Vegetable Marrow and 
Bush Scallop can he planted in “hills” 3h£ feet apart, but the “run¬ 
ning” varieties like Blue Hubbard, Quality, Boston Marrow, etc. should be 
planted 8 feet apart. The vines often extend 20 feet in all directions. 
Squash bugs often destroy the young plants as soon as they appear 
above the ground. To prevent this it is a good plan to spray the plants 
with a thin white wash to which some arsenate of lead has been added 
ASH Zucca (It.) 
or with Nicotine Pyrox. The white wash should be like milk. Dusting 
either powdered gypsum “ Ku-ba-tox” or “ Derox" on the plants while wet 
with dew will also keep the bugs off. Do not wait until the bugs appear, 
but spray or dust the plants as soon as they come up. 
Please Note —We cannot supply half ounces of any seed the price 
of which is less than 30c per ounce.
