summer squashes. It will average five to seven Gays 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, slightly 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.

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.
