Squash for Summer 
Squash for Winter 
The squash family comprises one of 
the largest of the vegetable list and one 
can find most any style to fit the ground 
available. ~ 
In the summer variety it seems that 
the zucchini leads the list, and those 
who grew the Black style last season 
pronounce it par-excellent. Following 
this is the yellow, either straight or 
ecrookneck. The early white scallop still 
has a large following. The new one that 
we put out last season proved to be 
a topnotch number. It is the YANKEE 
HYBRID, a heavy yielder of eight-inch 
waxy yellow fruit of an excellent flavor. 
The ACORN, or TABLE QUEEN 
(called Danish by some) is an all- 
purpose squash for baking, as it is both 
a summer and a winter variety. The 
mature fruit weighs about a pound each 
and will keep well into the winter 
months. 
The true HUBBARD is still the larg- 
est planted variety for winter use, but 
the large size and the rampant growth 
keep it from many of the smaller gar- 
dens. They take up a great deal of 
space, one plant covering as much 
ground as six hills of tomatoes. 
THE GOLDEN DELICIOUS is an 
ever-popular squash for general use, 
either for baking or pie-making. The 
smaller size makes it desirable for the 
average family, as it seldom weighs 
over seven pounds. 
BUTTERCUP is another popular num- 
ber for winter use. The flesh is golden 
yellow with a very small seed cavity. 
The flesh is firm and fairly dry. From 
two to four pounds in weight. 
Ammonium Sulfamate 
As a Weed Killer 
Prolonged trials with ammonium sul- 
famate have proved it to be an effective 
herbicide for many weeds, including 
such as poison ivy, blackberries, and 
broad-leaf annuals. There is a tem- 
porary soil-sterilzing effect when it is 
sprayed on weed growth as directed; 
consequently, treated areas may be 
planted the same season. 
Garden Guide & Note Book 
Ammonium sulfamate should be dis- 
solved in water at the rate of one pound 
per gallon and applied by sprinkler can. 
Have the soil wet when applying the 
chemical and water it well. Morning 
glory has been effectively destroyed by 
soaking the soil and dipping the plants 
into a jar of the solution.
