-and VEGETABLE MARROWS 
Marrows and 
Summer Squashes 
Early maturing, non-keeping, to be used 
from the vine when Pipe, and before the 
shell hardens. 
A delightful way of serving both the 
Early White Bush and Early Golden Bush 
Squash when about five Inches long Is 
to pick the fruits as soon as formed, 
boll them whole, and serve either with 
melted butter or white sauce. In addition 
to a delightful dish, the early picking 
encourages a second crop of fruit.

HINT RE EARLY PLANTING OF VINE CROPS 
When planting for early crops of all Vine seeds such 
as Pumpkins, Melons, Squash, etc., experienced growers 
always plant the seed with the point downwards. 
Doing this tends to stop the seed rotting through 
moisture gaining entrance, and moreover, the shell of 
the seed remains longer on the first two leaves and 
so helps to protect them from adverse conditions. 
Crookneck Squash matures in about sixty days , and 
should be used fresh from the plant. 
Bush marrows grow very compact 
and will fit in the smaller cottage 
gardens.
