SQUASH ; 
Squashes require a warm, fertile soil of 
sandy nature for best growth. Summer squashes . 
grow mostly in compact bush form; hills for 
these should be about 4 feet apart; for long 
trailing fall and winter varieties hills should 
be 8 to.12 feet apart each way. If ground is 
not very rich two or three shovelsful of well- 
rotted manure should be worked into each hill. 
Put 8 to 10 seeds in each hill about 1 inch 
deep. When danger of bugs is over, thin to 
three or four of the strongest plants. 
WHITE BUSH or PATTY PAN—The best 
' early variety. The plants are of 
true bush form and produce fruits 
very early in the season. Largely 
grown in the South for shipment to 
northern markets. 
ZUCCHINI—65 days. Fruits are long, 
cylindrical, grey green to dark 
green in color. Length is 18 to 15 
inches, width 4% to 5% inches. 
Flesh is greenish white when edible 
and is of good flavor. 
CONNECTICUT STRAIGHTNECK—A 
new early productive summer 
squash. Has small vine growth, 
about half the size of standard 
commercial varieties, which has 
valuable advantages as much thick- 
er plantings can be made, resulting 
in really heavy crops. The fruit 
grows to a length of about 10 inches 
in a week after blossoming. The 
color is, briefly, lemon, and we like 
this color better than in some 
strains, as the fruits in the veg- 
etable stands always have a distinct, 
fresh appearance. This type pro- 
duces fruit about two weeks ahead 
of any similar strain. 
TABLE QUEEN or ACORN—An excel- 
lent table squash. The fruits are 
about half the size of a coconut, 
and half of one, baked, serves one 
amply. The shell is smooth and 
dark green, deeply furrowed and 
keeping as well as the Hubbard. 
Flesh is rich orange-yellow, cooking 
as dry and sweet as sweet potato. 
Heavy yield. 80 days. 
HUBBARD—The most widely grown 
winter squash. Large and heavy, 
with bright orange flesh; fine 
grained, very dry, sweet and richly 
flavored; fine keeper; none better 
for squash pies. 
YELLOW SUMMER CROOKNECK—The 
plants are very productive and 
early bearing; skin of fruits very 
thickly warted and of orange-yellow 
color.

color while the lower half is a pure 
white; the flesh is pure white, crisp 
and of excellent table qualities.

with perfectly thin white skin. It 
grows very quickly and the flesh is 
very firm, sweet and mild. 
IMPROVED PURPLE TOP RUTABAGA— 
Requires a longer season in which 
to grow than turnips, but flesh is of 
superior quality and keeps better. 
SEVEN TOP—Does not produce a good 
root, but is extensively grown in the 
South for the leaves, which are used 
for greens; very hardy and keeps 
better.

COWHORN—A long, white turnip, 12 
to 15 inches in length, 214 inches ‘in 
diameter. Of rapid growth, pro- 
ducing large, heavy roots in 65 to 
75 days. Very hardy. One of the 
best and sweetest for home use or 
for stock feeding. 
SPINACH 
A spring plant used for greens. Very hardy 
and most in demand in early spring and late 
fall. Leaves are large, rich and tender. Verv 
easy to culture and grows best in cool weather. 
Rapid growth is desirable that leaves may be 
strong and tender. Soil should be rich and 
given good cultivation. For fall use seed may 
be sown in the middle of September. One ounce 
will sow 100 feet of drill. 
BLOOMSDALE—This is the most popu- 
lar variety. The fleshy leaves are 
of true Savoy appearance; very 
hardy. 
NEW ZEALAND—Best for hot weather. 
Yields continuously from late spring 
to late fall. During the summer 
months when ordinary spinach bolts 
and goes to seed, this variety is at 
its best. It thrives on almost any 
soil and withstands drouth wonder- 
fully well. The plant is bushy in 
form. As the tops are cut off, side 
shoots develop and in a few days an- 
other crop may be cut. Seeds should 
be soaked in warm water for 24 
hours to hasten germination. Plant 
in March or April, 3 to 4 seeds in 
hills 2 feet apart each way. 
SALSIFY or VEGETABLE 
OYSTER 
So called because of resemblance in flavor to 
the oyster when cooked. Tap root is long and 
resembles a parsnip and one-half the size of 
an ordinary parsnip. Requires a deep, rich soil 
and the whole season to mature in. Plant seed 
about 1 inch deep in drills 12 inches apart, 
later thin out young plants to 4 to 5 inches. 
One ounce will plant 70 feet of drill. Roots 
may be dug and stored in fall or left in ground 
over winter.
