SQUASH 
Summer Squash, 1 oz. to 30 hills. Winter Squash,.1 oz. to 15 hills; 3 to 4 lbs, per acre. 
Plant when the weather has become settled and the ground fairly warm. 
Bush varieties are planted 8 by 4 feet; running varieties 6 by 8 feet; about 4 to 6 
seeds per hill, and thin out later leaving the strongest plants about 8 to the hill. Hills 
similar to those made for Cucumber with well-rotted manure or fertilizer are best. 
Winter varieties may be stored in a moderately warm dry place of even temperature.

314 COCOZELLE GREEN BUSH or ITALIAN VEGETABLE MARROW. — 

Table Queen Squash 
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 cloth, 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. 
327 KELLY’S IMPROVED TYPE WHITE BUR- 
LEY. A heavy yielder of rich, bright leaf, large, long 
and broad. It is fast becoming the most popular type of 
bed and is largely grown by planters in all Burley 
sections. 

















(60 days.) This is a most delicious and fine flavored sort of Squash. The color is a 
deep green when young, ripening with alternate stripes of green and gold. The 
shape is long and slender. It is used when 10 to 12 inches long and is boiled or cut 
in slices and fried in butter. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 1%4 Ihb., 75c.

high-yielding summer Squash, earlier than Giant Summer Straight- 
neck. Plants strictly bush and compact with ample foliage, per- 
mitting close planting. Fruits straight, smooth, and of delicate 
creamy color; firm and usable when only 4 to 5 inches long and 
until 12 to 14 inches long. Quality unsurpassed. Suitable for home 
and market garden, and for shipment. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; 
4 lb., 90c. 
316 GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK. (55 days.) This sum- 
mer Squash has almost entirely replaced the Crookneck type, in 
both home and commercial gardens. It differs from Crookneck only 
attractive in appearance and much easier to pack in crates for 
shipping. The fruit is lemon-yellow in color—about 14 inches long 
and 3% inches in diameter. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 14 lb., 90c.

328 JUDY’S PRIDE TYPE WHITE BURLEY. This 
variety has won great popularity in certain sections of 
Kentucky and Tennessee, and we think it is a good 
stand-up Burley. The leaf is broad, long and tapering, 
with prominent white ribs. The stalk is strong and 
holds the leaves well up off the ground.

tember 15th, broadcast 114 to 2 lbs. per acre. An ounce 
will sow about 300 feet. Turnips for greens can be 
sown as late as October Ist, and require 2 lbs. per acre.

larly valuable for sowing in early spring. Roots are 
medium size, plants purple, top flat. Best for private

Giant Summer 
Straightneck Squash 
(75 days.) Flesh white, firm and crisp: 
(45 days.) Used entirely for 
Rutabaga or Swedish Turnips 
Rutabagas require longer to mature than the common Turnips and should be sown 
earlier. To get heavy crops of large Turnips sow the seed June 15 to July 1, in rows 
2 to 21% feet apart. Thin the plants to a foot apart. Rutabagas make excellent 
winter feed for sheep. For table use, Rutabagas can be sown later and will be of 
better quality, but not as large as when sown early. 
370 AMERICAN PURPLE TOP. (90 days.) Our stock of this is extra choice 
and can be depended on by the most critical growers. Rutabagas, besides being 
the best food for stock, is the sweetest of all Turnips for table use.
