rill TIIRF Sow af ter danger of frost is past. Light, warm soil is best. Plant 
ouliuke. j n hi]i s prepared for same as for pumpkins and melons, the bush 
kinds about four feet apart, and the running varieties from six to nine 
feet apart, according to their nature, as some will run more than 
others. Plant about one-half dozen seeds in each hill and thin to 
three best plants. The earth about the plants should be kept loose 
and clear from weeds until runners are well started. Cutting 
off the leading shoots of the running varieties is recommended 
as having a tendency to promote growth and early maturity of the 
fruit. One ounce of seed will plant from thirty to fifty hills, two 
pounds will plant an acre of the summer varieties, and 1V4 lbs. 
the winter varieties.

Tari F nilFFM A recent introduction that is fast becoming pop-

well but does not have a hard shell. It is heart shape with a 
dark green skin, rich yellow fine grained flesh, about 5 inches in 
diameter, which makes a convenient size to cut in half and bake 
for individual service. The fruits are uniform in size and shape 
and very numerous; in fact, we know of no other squash that sets 
so heavily and if picked as soon as mature will continue to set

both for quality and yield. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25.
