CATTLE PUMPKINS AND MARROWS 
Write for special list in September. 
HOW TO GROW. — Sow in the late 
spring when the ground is warm, and 
treat the same as Cucumber. They will 
thrive in any good garden soil, but are 
voracious feeders and for best results 
require a soil which has been deeply 
trenched and well incorporated with 
well-rotted manure. When the soil has 
become warm and weather conditions 
settled, plant bush varieties in hills 4 ft. 
apart, and running sorts 6ft. to 8ft. 
apart each way. Eight to 10 seeds should 
be planted in each hill. After attaining 
rough leaves, and danger from frost is 
over, thin out, leaving two to three of 
the strongest plants in each hill. Allow 
winter Squashes to ripen thoroughly, 
otherwise they may not keep through 
the winter. The larger Pumpkins make 
the very best feed for cattle and pigs in 
dry districts. Sow three pounds of seed 
per acre. 
1 rombone or Bugle Bumpkin is the 
sweetest of all, and makes excellent 
pies. Does not keep as long as 
Triamble or Queensland Blue. 
Winter-Keeping 
Squashes, etc. 
Although termed Squashes, the 
following are Hard-shelled, and can 
be either cooked immediately 
matured, or stored like Pumpkins 
for winter use. Excellent vegetables 
and rapidly growing in favour.

Often called Warren Pumpkin. A great 
favourite with growers for the early 
market. Round, but flat top and bottom, 
in fact, cheese - shaped. Skin bright 
orange-red and rough, flesh dry, sweet 
and thick. 6d. per pkt., 1/6 per loz., 
3/6 per ilb., post free. 
YATES’ GOLDEN HUBBARD SQUASH 
Fruits are of the same shape as Green 
Hubbard, and warted, but average one- 
half to one-third smaller in size. They 
are earlier in season, but keep in fine 
condition through the winter. The skin 
is deep orange-yellow, and very attrac¬

grained and delicious. 6d. per pkt., 1/6
