Acorn Squash 
Surely a Squash fit for a Queen’s taste. 
Cut in half and baked for 20 minutes, it 
will give you a delicious meal you long 
remember—and if you like pie, try one 
made from Acorn Squash. You will be 
pleased not only with the quality of this 
Squash, but you will get so many from each 
seed planted, the vines being so vigorous 
and productive. The fruits are a nice size 
to handle, 6 to 7 inches long and 4 to 5 
inches in diameter. The meat is exception¬ 
ally dry and mealy and of a fine flavor. 
The shell is thin, but hard and smooth, and 
they keep as well as the Hubbard, although 
they ripen earlier. The color is dark green, 
almost black, with sometimes a blotch of 
red at pointed end. This fine Squash has 
rapidly come into favor in many markets, 
being preferred to the large sorts—while 
for the home market, it is ideal.

SWEET POTATO PUMPKIN 
Tennessee Sweet Potato is an excellent sort which, when cooked, 
resembles a sweet potato in flavor, but is of more delicious taste. 
It is pear-shaped and slightly ribbed. The color is creamy 
white, sometimes striped with green. Flesh is fine grained and 
very dry. Fine when cooked like sweet potatoes, and nothing 
superior for making pies and custards. Matures in 95 days, 
is hardy and productive, and keeps perfectly sound until late 
in the spring.

ORNAMENTAL GOURDS 
WONDER BUSH 
CHERRY 
These bushes grow about 18 inches 
high—and bear heavy crops of the 
best flavored fruit you ever tasted. 
Although many use the fruit raw, 
all claim it makes better pie than 
tree cherries. The Wonder Cherry, 
sometimes called Ground Cherry, 
will bear eight weeks after plant¬ 
ing the seed.

WITLOOF CHICORY 
Witloof is a delicious winter 
vegetable. It makes one of 
the finest of all salads, is very 
fine served with French dress¬ 
ing and eaten like lettuce and 
is also excellent boiled. Plant 
seed in May or June in open 
ground, and in fall, dig roots, 
cutting off leaves, and store 
in soil in a cool place until 
wanted for forcing. About a 
month before wanted, the 
roots should be planted in 
boxes of earth, in cool, dark 
place in cellar. If not grown 
in a dark place, it should be 
banked up like celery, as it is 
the blanched stalks that are 
used. Coming as it does in 
the middle of the winter, it is bound 
to become popular as it becomes 
better known.

length and is a distinct novelty 
variety. Seed should be planted 
early to obtain best results. Ex¬ 
cellent for pickling and slicing.
