SQUASH fe: Summer and Winter Use 
When the weather has become settled and warm, plant in hills—bush varieties 4 feet apart 
each way, the running kinds 8 feet apart. Sow 8 to 10 seeds in each hill, 1 inch deep, thinning 
out after they have made their fourth leaf to three of the strongest plants. 
One package of Summer Squash seed will sow 15 hills; 3 to 4 pounds an acre. 
One package of Winter Squash seed will sow 6 to 8 hills; 2 pounds an acre. 
Summer Squash 
Early Straightneck. A very light yel- 
low, rather smooth-skinned summer Squash, 
with the straight neck now so popular with 
both private and commercial gardeners. The 
flesh is of splendid quality and fine flavor.

was earlier and bore more fruit than any other 
kind. Pkg. 10¢c; oz. 25¢; 14 Ib. 70c; Ib. $2.10

of delicate creamy. color when only 4 to 5 
inches long, and until they are 12 to 14 inches 
long. Early, have crops of very high quality.

neck summer squashes. Vines are of bush 
habit, larger and more vigorous than Summer 
Crookneck. When mature, the fruits are often 
1% to 2 feet long, with exceedingly warted 
surface. Its large size and attractive deep 
yellow color make this variety a favorite with 
market gardeners as well as for home garden 
use. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20¢; 1/4 Ib. 65c¢; tb. $2.00

ITALIAN VEGETABLE 
MARROW 
(COCOZELLE) 
Greatly Improved—Bush Type 
Takes Up Very Little Room in the 
Garden 
Grows like a summer squash. Fruit ob- 
long and deep green. Cut when not more 
than 5 inches long. This is the Vegetable 
Marrow so largely grown in Europe, and its 
fine qualities as a garden vegetable make 
it worthy of room in your own garden. Try 
it this year and give it plenty of sheep 
manure and water. Cook and serve same 
as asparagus. Cut in small pieces and 
creamed, sliced and fried, or used as a 
salad, it is very delicious. Plant in hills in 
May and every two weeks until July.

larly well in our trials again last summer. It 
was as early as any other kind and certainly a 
heavier bearer. The fruits are straight, light 
yellow in color, of splendid appearance and 
very high quality. A good kind for either the 
home garden or for market.

Winter Squash 
Table Queen or Acorn. People who 
have tried this Squash claim its quality superior 
to that of any other. It is a small kind, about

meat, dry and mealy. To cook, cut in half, 
place a lump of butter on one half, top with 
the other, and then bake whole. Half a Squash 
serves one person. An enormous yielder—a

it this year—we are sure you will like it.

Delicious. Tops for Quality. The meat is 
so dry and fine grained that it greatly re- 
sembles that of a good sweet potato. Delicious 
does not grow as large as Hubbard, usually 
weighing from 5 to 10 Ibs., but is very heavy, 
as the orange-colored flesh is so thick that 
there is but very little seed cavity in the cen- 
ter. A splendid winter keeper and one you 
should grow in the garden.

hills if you plan on canning.
