The “bush” varieties like Straighlneck, Italian 
Vegetable Marrow and Bash Scallop can be 
planted in “hills” 3)^ feet apart, but the 
“running” varieties like Blue Hubbard, Quality, 
Boston Marrow, etc. should be planted 6 feet 
apart. The vines often extend 20 feet in all 
directions. 
SQUASH 
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 or with Nicotine Pyrox. The 
white wash should be like milk. Dusting either 
powdered gypsum or “ Derox” on the plants 
Zucca (It.) 
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

WARREN (Improved Essex Hybrid). This is a mighty good sweet, fine¬ 
grained and fine-flavored squash. The flesh is very thick, deep orange and 
firm. The fruit is round, ribbed and flattened at the ends, bright orange-red 
color when ripe. It has a distinct but not too large button at the blossom 
end. This squash will keep well all winter. The seed is of true well bred 
strain of our own growing that originated in New England where this type 
is most popular.

DELICIOUS. For Fine Flavor. With the exception of the “Quality” this is 
the finest flavored winter squash we know. It is rich and sweet and so dry 
and fine grained that it resembles a good sweet potato. The fruit has a dark 
green shell with bright orange flesh. It is not quite as large as Hubbard but 
is very heavy. This is a favorite home garden kind and market gardeners 
find it profitable where a medium size squash of fine quality is appreciated.
