Squash Pays Better Than Many Other Fall Crops and Grows With a Minimum Amount of Labor 
SQUASH 
Plant 2 pounds per acre of bush varieties and 1 pound per acre of running varieties. 
Culture. Squashes can be grown on almost any 
kind of soil. Use from 800 to 1,200 pounds of fer¬ 
tilizer per acre. 
For bush varieties, have rows 4 feet apart and 
hills 2 feet apart in the row. Running varieties 
should be planted at least 8 by 8 feet apart. Put 
six to eight seeds in each hill, and thin out to two 
plants when 3 inches high. Plant in fall, from 
August until October.

BUSH VARIETIES 
EARLY YELLOW SUMMER CROOKNECK. 
(48 days.) This is a very popular variety of the 
Yellow Crookneck type. It is similar to Giant 
Crookneck except in size and earliness. The fruit 
is smaller, with a thinner neck, and matures slight¬ 
ly earlier. 
Pkt. 5c; Mlb. 30c; 1 lb. 90c. 
GIANT YELLOW SUMMER CROOKNECK. 
(50 days.) As the name implies, the fruits are 
large, with a rather thick neck. The vines grow 
vigorously, but are not as prolific as the Early Yel¬ 
low Summer Crookneck. 
Pkt. 5c; M lb. 30c; 1 lb. 90c. 
GIANT YELLOW SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK

ble Marrow.) (50 days.) The fruit is 10 to 12 
inches long, slender, 1 to 1% inches in diameter, 
cylindrical in shape, dark green in color. Our stock 
of this variety produces a small, bushy, open type 
of plant, with small, deeply cleft leaves, but with 
an immense yield of uniformly true to type fruits.

ZUCCHINI. (Short Thick Italian Vegetable 
Marrow.) (50 days.) This variety of the Italian 
Vegetable Marrow type produces fruit rather short 
and blocky ranging from 7 to 9 inches in length, 
light green in color, mottled with gray, giving the 
fruits a greenish-gray appearance.

color. Our stock in uniformly true to type. 
Pkt. 5c; Mlb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
RUNNING VARIETIES 
GREEN HUBBARD. (110 days.) Very productive and vig¬ 
orous. The fruits are large and oval, and the dark green, 
warted rind is very thick, so that the fruits will keep over long 
periods in storage. Its orange flesh is very fine and sweet, 
making it excellent for pies and baking. 
Pkt. 5c; Mlb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
BOSTON MARROW. (110 days.) A running variety with 
vines very sturdy and prolific. The fruit is shaped very much 
like the Hubbard, but is of light lemon-yellow color. Its flesh 
is very sweet and fine-grained, making it very good for cook¬ 
ing. The tough rind makes it a good keeper and a good shipper. 
Pkt. 5c; Mlb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25.

Culture for Bloomsdale Spinach. Successful for fall and 
winter planting. Does not grow well in hot weather. Plant 
seed in rows 16 to 20 inches apart and thin to 4 to 6 inches 
apart in the row. May be planted broadcast, thinning plants 
to stand about 10 by 10 inches apart. Plant 1 oz. of seed per 
hundred feet of row or 12 to 15 lbs. per acre in rows, or 20 to 
25 lbs. broadcast. 
BLOOMSDALE. (35 days.) Our re-selected strain of this 
variety is the very best obtainable; disease-resistant, early, and 
hardy. The plant is of rapid, upright growth, with very thick, 
glossy, dark green leaves of medium size, pointed but quite 
broad and crumpled or blistered. This is the best winter va¬ 
riety and a great favorite with southern shippers. 
Pkt. 5c; Mlb. 15c; 1 lb. 50c. 
Culture for New Zealand Spinach. As seeds are very 
hard and germinate with difficulty, soak them in warm water 
for twenty-four hours to hasten germination. Plant seed in 
rows two feet apart, and drop three or four seeds per hill about 
20 inches apart in the row. Plant three to four pounds of 
seed per acre. 
NEW ZEALAND. (55 days.) Entirely distinct from the 
true Spinach. The plant is tall and very spreading, with 
numerous side shoots. It grows to a height of 1 foot and 
spreads to a radius of 2 feet. Leaves are very thick, light 
green, rather small, broad and pointed. It grows well in hot 
weather and under adverse conditions, and is sometimes called 
“Summer” or “Hot-weather Spinach.” The leafy tips of the 
branches are removed and new growth follows, making possible 
many cuttings. New Zealand Spinach should be planted in 
every Florida garden.
