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 pure 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 quality.

WOOD’S EARLIEST PROLIFIC. (Patty Pan Type.) (42 days.) 
This is the earliest, meatiest, and most prolific of the patty 
pan type. It will average seven days earlier than Early 
White Bush, mature all of its fruits quickly and will be al- 
most through producing by the time Early White Bush be- 
gins making much of a crop when planted at the same time. 
The plants are extremely prolific, producing round, smooth, 
deep, thick fruits, very 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 blossom ends. A 
very desirable sort to grow where very early squashes of the 
bush scalloped type are wanted for home use or to ship. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1% Ib. 30c; 1 Ib. $1.00. 
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. The fruits are left on the vines 
until fully grown with a hard rind, and are then harvested by 
cutting the stem. Running squash may be stored in a cool, 
dry place until desired for use, but must be handled care- 
fully to avoid bruising. They are claimed to be much richer 
in flavor and more nutritious than bush squashes. Unlike 
bush squashes, which are prepared only by boiling or frying, 
fruits of the running varieties may be stored, and used 
either boiled, baked or for making delicious squash pies. 
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 insects and diseases. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15¢; V4 Ib. 45c; 1 Ib. $1.50. 
BLUE HUBBARD. (115 days.) This strain is superior in 
edible quality to other Hubbards. The blue-gray colored fruits 
are large, round, pointed at both ends and slightly rough and 
ridged. Flesh is thick, yellow-orange, of fine flavor. Ideal for 
baking and for pies. The best keeper of all Hubbards.

Mammoth White Bush 
SQUASH-—RUNNING VARIETIES 
BOSTON MARROW. (110 days.) A very productive, hardy, 
running variety. The fruit is shaped very much like the Hub- 
bard, but is of light lemon-yellow color. Its flesh is very sweet 
and fine-grained, making it very good for cooking, baking and 
for pies. The tough, thick rind makes it a good keeper. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15¢; %4 Ib. 40c; 1 Ib. $1.25. 
GREEN HUBBARD. (110 days.) Plant very vigorous and 
productive. The fruits are large and oval, and the dark 
bronze-green, warted rind is very thick, so that the fruits 
will keep over long periods in storage. Its thick orange-yel- 
low flesh is very fine, dry and sweet, making it excellent 
for pies and baking. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15¢; %4 Ib. 40c; 1 Ib. $1.25. 
TABLE QUEEN or ACORN. (60 days.) Although belonging 
to the running sorts, this squash is almost as early as the bush 
types and has become very popular in Florida. Its very 
dark green, oval fruit is small, weighing about two pounds, 
and is about five to six inches long, and four and one-half 
inches in diameter, with sides deeply’ ribbed, with a point at 
the blossom end. Its light yellow flesh is very fine grained and 
sweet. It is a very good keeper and desirable for home and 
market use, also for shipping.

Spinach seed supply extremely short. Order early. 
Cutture ror New ZeaLtaNnp Spinacu. As seeds are very 
hard and. germinate with difficulty, soak them in warm water 
for 24 hours to hasten germination. Plant seed in rows three 
feet apart, and drop three or four seeds per hill about 20 
inhes apart in the row. Plant 3 to 4 pounds of seed per acre. 
NEW ZEALAND. (60 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. It does best on moist, rich land, and grows most 
luxuriantly in hot weather. '
