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 scalloped 
edges, measuring about five to six inches across by three inches 
thick when ready to market. This variety is very early in 
maturity and can be shipped about 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 be- 
ing about one-third larger, measuring 6 to 8 inches in di- 
ameter. It is slightly later in maturing and not quite as prolific 
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 almost 
half 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, 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.

SQUASH - RUNNING VARIETIES 
Plant one pound per acre of running varieties. 
In the garden plant one packet in ten hills for a family 
of 3 or 4 people. 
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 carefully to avoid bruis- 
ing. 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 varie- 
ties 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.

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.

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-yellow flesh is 
dry and sweet, making it excellent for pies and baking.

TABLE QUEEN OR ACORN. (60 days.) Although be- 
longing 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, and 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.

A typical fruit of Mammoth White Bush Squash 
SPINACH 
Most health producing and nutritious of all vegetables. 
Bloomsdale—Plant 12 to 15 pounds per acre in rows, 
or 20 to 25 pounds per acre broadcast. 
In the garden plant 2 ounces to 75 feet of row for a 
family of 3 or 4 people. 
New Zealand—Plant 3 to 4 pounds of seed per acre. 
In the garden plant one ounce to 25 feet of row for a 
family of 3 or 4 people. 
Prices quoted are postpaid. 
Write for special prices on larger quantities. 
CULTURE FOR BLOOMSDALE SPINACH. Successful for fall and 
winter planting. Does not grow well in hot weather. Requires 
a moist, rich soil, the richer the better. Plant seed in rows 
16 to 20 inches apart, and thin to 2 to 4 inches apart in the row. 
May be planted broadcast, thinning plants to stand about 8 
by 8 inches apart. 
CuLTURE FOR New ZEALAND. 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 inches 
apart in the row. 
BLOOMSDALE SAVOY, LONG STANDING. (40 days.) 
Our re-selected strain of this variety is disease resistant, early 
and hardy, uniform, of rapid, upright, sturdy growth, with at- 
tractive, highly crumpled and blistered dark green leaves. This 
strain holds longer than any other before throwing seed stalks. 
The best winter variety for Florida.

NEW ZEALAND. (60 days.) Entirely distinct from the 
true Spinach. The plant is tall and very spreading, with num- 
erous 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.
