Burpee’s Winter Squash 
These require the same cultural directions as the summer varieties, but need from 80 to 125 
days to come to maturity. Gather them before frost, leaving part of the stem attached to 
the fruit. Keep in a moderately warm, dry place during the winter. Many 
varieties give excellent “pumpkin” pie.

The time for maturity of tender vegetables, such as Squash, 
Cucumbers, Melons, Sweet Corn, etc., may be shortened 
considerably by starting seeds in paper pots, in a straw¬ 
berry box, or a greenhouse, two or three weeks before it is 
safe to sow outdoors. Transplant to the open ground when 
the weather is warm enough. 
Burpee pays the postage on all seeds up to 10 lbs. of each kind
