The delicious Italian Cucumber 
- * Squash. American travelers 
through Italy, where this tasty vegetable is featured 
as a special dehcacy in all first-class hotels, all pro¬ 
claim this to be the most delicious dish they have 
ever eaten. This Squash is grown almost exclusively 
in the north of Italy, and the seed-supply is so 
zealously guarded that it seldom goes out of the 
country. We have again secured a limited supply of 
seed. Plant the same as any bush Squash, in hills 
3 feet apart, three to four seeds in a hiU. The fruit 
should be picked when it is hardly the size of a small 
cucumber, but the most delicate flavor is obtained 
by picking it even before the flower has opened, 
when it is scarcely as thick as a finger. The plants, 
thus deprived of their undeveloped fruits, continue 
to bear for several months most profusely. Pkt.
