VEGETABLE MARROW 
A type of Squash that always occupies an important place in European gardens, and one which is considered superior in many respects 
to our American varieties of Summer Squash. Cultivation is similar, although to obtain quickest and largest yields it is often grown on spent 
hotbeds or in a few inches of soil placed on a manure-pile. The Marrows are gathered before they ripen—usually in about a similar stage of 
maturity to that of cucumbers when gathered for slicing. They are peeled, divided, and the seeds are removed; then cut into 3-inch squares, 
boiled until tender and served as a melting and delicious side dish with cream sauce.
