Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 593. Young Turban Squash, in which the withered corolla has become detached, but hangs on the remains of the styles and stigmas. inner Squash, as the withered remains in Pig. 592 show. Sometimes the withered corolla becomes detached, but hangs onto the withered remains of the stigmas, as in Pig. 593. The longitudinal section of the flower (Pig. 594) explains the structure. The corolla is shown at c d. The top of the ovary is at O. The stigmas are on the ovary. The part encircling the ovary (outside of O) is the hollowed receptacle. Ordinarily the receptacle is closed at the top, completely confining the ovary; but in the Ttirban Squashes the receptacle does not extend over the top of the ovary, and the ovary therefore protrudes. The older morphologists held this outer part of the Squash to be adnate calyx, rather than re- ceptacle. The Cucurbits are monographed by Cogniaux, DC. Monogr. Phaner. 3. Also by Naudin, Ann. Sci.
