TARI P OIIPFM A recent introduction that is fast becoming po])- 
lADLc vucciN. ular. A first quality winter squash that keeps 
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 coiuinue to set 
a new crop. You will be amply repaid by planting a few hills of 
this splendid variety in rich, well fertilized soil. We highly recom¬ 
mend it for home garden and we believe it will take the place of 
older varieties with market gardeners as soon as they become 
acquainted with it, as it far surpasses any squash of this type, 
both for quality and yield. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; % lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.50.

CULTURE. 
Courge, Fr. Zucca, Ital. Calabaza, Sp. Kuerbis, Ger. 
Sow after danger of frost is past. Light, warm soil is best. Plant 
in hills 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 IV 2 pounds 
the winter varieties.
