Table Queen Squash fried in butter. 
TOBACCO 
Culture. The seed is sown from February to April in open beds. 
Ground must be clean, very finely pulverized, raked fine and smooth. 
It is customary to burn over the top of the bed by piling brush or 
litter to destroy weed seeds and add fertility for the young plants. 
After sowing, beds are protected with thin cotton cloh, similar to 
cheese-cloth, to protect them from Tobacco flies. About June Ist 
the plants are set in rich or highly fertilized ground in rows 4 feet 
apart each way. An ounce sows about 50 square yards, sufficient 
to set 2 or 3 acres.
