Burpee’s Summer Squash

sorts are spaced either 8 by 8 or 10 by 12 ft. Sow the seed after all danger of frost has passed. One oz. suffices for about 
40 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. are needed per acre. They are ready for the table in 65 to 80 days. 
1050 VEGETABLE SPAGHETTI 
This is a recently introduced vegetable and but little known as 
yet. The plant is quite vigorous and sets fruit like any squash. 
These are white skinned and usually grow about eight inches 
long and four inches in diameter. An experienced cook says: 
“Pick a well-ripened squash and cook it whole without cutting 
or skinning, for twenty minutes in boiling water. Take it out 
of the pot, cut open and you will find a mass of spaghetti, which 
is very tasty when seasoned.” It is a wonderfully good keeper 
and can be stored away and used as required until late in the 
spring. Pkt. 10*!; oz. 25<f; 4 ozs. 75£; Vi lb. $1.15; lb. $2.00;
