SQUASH—BUSH VARIETIES (Continued) 
EARLY WHITE BUSH. (Patty Pan Type.) (48 days.) This 
is a very popular type of squash for shipment to Northern 
markets. The comparatively smooth fruits are of creamy 
white color are round and flat but deep, with ridged or scal¬ 
loped edges, measuring about six to eight inches across by 
three inches thick. This variety is very early in maturity and 
can be shipped six or seven weeks after planting. Our stock 
is very early, extremely prolific and uniformly true to type.

MAMMOTH WHITE BUSH. (Patty Pan Type.) (50 days.) 
A large strain of the Early White Bush, the fruits being 
about one-third larger, measuring eight to ten inches in di¬ 
ameter. It is slightly later in maturing and not quite as pro¬ 
lific as Early White Bush. Color is a beautiful waxy white. 
The fruits are thick, tender, and of very good flavor and 
quality. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Va lb. 25c; 1 lb. 75c. 
WOOD'S EARLIEST PROLIFIC. (Patty Pan Type.) (42 days.) 
This is the earliest, meatiest, and one of the best of all 
summer squashes. It will average seven to ten days earlier 
than Early White Bush, mature all of its fruits quickly and 
will be almost through producing by the time Early White 
Bush begins making much of a crop when planted at the 
same time. The plants are extremely prolific, producing 
round, smooth, deep, thick fruits, not scalloped, and of a 
silvery gray color. The fruits are much deeper and thicker 
than the White Bush, being bulged at both stem and blos¬ 
som ends. A very desirable sort to grow where very early 
squashes are wanted for home use or to ship.

SQUASH-RUNN 
The running varieties of squash are distinct from the bush 
varieties—the vines run 10 to 12 feet, and the squashes 
weigh from 2 to 12 pounds. With running varieties, the 
fruits are left on the vines until fully grown with a hard 
rind, and are then harvested by cutting the stem, being care¬ 
ful to avoid bruising. Running squash may be stored in a 
cool, dry place until desired for use, but must be handled 
carefully. They are claimed to be much richer in flavor and 
more nutritious than bush squashes. 
AFRICAN SQUASH. ( 100 days.) The vines are long and 
very prolific. Fruits range from three to ten pounds with a 
smooth, thin, dark green rind. Keeps exceedingly well under 
Florida conditions. Highly resistant to all insects and dis¬ 
eases. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Va lb. 45c; 1 lb. $1.50. 
BLUE HUBBARD. (New) (115 days.) This new strain is 
superior in edible quality to other Hubbards. The fruits are 
large, round, pointed at both ends. The best keeper of all 
Hubbards. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Va lb. 45c; 1 lb. $1.50. 
Early White Bush 
ING VARIETIES 
BOSTON MARROW. (110 days.) A running variety with 
vines very sturdy and prolific. The fruit is shaped very much 
like the Hubbard, but is of light lemon-yellow color. Its 
flesh is very sweet and fine-grained, making it very good for 
cooking. The tough thick rind makes it a good keeper and a 
good shipper. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Va lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
GREEN HUBBARD. (110 days.) This is a running variety 
that is very productive and vigorous. The fruits are large 
and oval, and the dark green, warted rind is very thick, so 
that the fruits will keep over long periods in storage. Its 
orange flesh is very fine and sweet, making it excellent for 
pies and baking. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Va lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
TABLE QUEEN or ACORN. (60 days.) Although belonging 
to the running sorts, this squash is as early as the bush types 
and should become very popular in Florida. Its very dark 
green fruit is small, weighing about 2 pounds, and is about 
5 to 6 inches long and V/ 2 inches in diameter, with the sides 
deeply ridged. Its flesh is very fine and sweet. It is a very 
good keeper and shipper.

Culture for Bi.oomsdale Spinach. Successful for fall and 
winter planting. Does not grow well in hot weather. Plant 
seed in rows 16 to 20 inches apart and thin to 4 to 6 inches 
apart in the row. May be planted broadcast, thinning plants 
to stand about 10 by 10 inches apart. Plant 1 oz. of seed per 
hundred feet of row or 12 to 15 lbs. per acre in rows, or 20 to 
25 lbs. broadcast. 
BLOOMSDALE SAVOY, LONG STANDING. (35 days.) Our 
re-selected strain of this variety is the best obtainable; dis¬ 
ease resistant, early and hardy, uniform, of rapid, upright, 
sturdy growth. Attractive, highly crumpled and blistered 
dark green leaves. Our long standing strain holds longer than 
any other before throwing seed stalks. The best winter vari¬ 
ety for Florida. 
Pkt. 5c; lb. 15c; 1 lb. 50c. 
Culture for New Zealand Spinach. As seeds are very 
hard and germinate with difficulty, soak them in warm water 
for twenty-four hours to hasten germination. Plant seed in 
rows two feet apart, and drop three or four seeds per hill 
about 20 inches apart in the row. Plant three to four pounds 
of seed per acre. 
NEW ZEALAND. (55 days.) Entirely distinct from the true 
Spinach. The plant is tall and very spreading, with numerous 
side shoots. It grows to a height of 1 foot and spreads to a 
radius of 2 feet. Leaves are very thick, light green, rather 
small, broad and pointed. It grows well in hot weather and 
under adverse conditions, and is sometimes called “Summer” 
or “Hot-weather Spinach.” The leafy tips of the branches 
are removed and new growth follows, making possible many 
cuttings.
