If every one liked this vegetable as
much as the undersigned it would find a
good place in every garden and two or
three paintings made during the summer.
Gathered just at the right stage and pre-
pared nicely, it is not inferior in delicacy
to any other vegetable.
The golden crOOkneck is the best variety
and the only one that should be planted
in the family garden. The first planting
should e made as soon as frost will per-
NIT in March or April, as the case may be.
Lay off deep burrows TO feet apart, and
if prOcurable, apply well-fned stable ma
nure that has been rOtted in the furrOw
and sprinkle it with some ashes and acid
phosphate, handful of each to every 6 or
7 lineal yards of row. Run the pillow
through to mix the manure and then bed
on it; lay off a slight furrOw on the bed
and sow the seed along regularly, 10 or II
to the foot. Rake lightly and roll barrel
over the bed to press the soil to the seed.
After the plants are well up and putting
out the third leaf thin out and leave a
plant every y inches. Hoe or pillow shall
low and they will soon be in bearing. 1t
is generally recommended to plant in hills
but l much prefer the drilling, as a given
space will yield more by this plan than
when in hills. Where the soil is rich the
vines can stand even closer than u inches.
Any good lOamy soil will produce squashes
without any special manuring, but it is
well to manure every crop when practi-
cable. 5. A.C.
