Per pkt. 5 cts.; per oz. 10 cts.; per Jib. 15 cts. Culture.âAn ounce of bush is sufficient for 50 hills, four or five pounds being put to the acre. An ounce of running for 20 hilts, three or four pounds to the acre. When all danger of frost is past and the ground becomes warm, plant in hills in the same manner as cucum- bers and melons, allowing eight or ten seeds for each hill. The bush varieties should be about four feet apart and the running kinds about eight feet apart. When the plants are up, thin so as to leave three of the strongest plants, and keep the weeds well hoed off. Care should be taken to avoid growing squashes in the vicinity of other cucurbitaceous plants, as hybridization is almost certain to follow. SPRING SPROUTS. [See Kale.] SWISS CHARD. (Beta Cycla.) This beet is not grown for its root, the only valuable part of the plant being the leaf, the mid- rib of which is cooked in the same way as asparagus, and the rest of the leaf used as greens. Its tenderness and delicacy of flavor are dependent to a con- siderable degree upon the cultivation, and especial care must be given to keeping down weeds. [See Beet.] TOMATO. (Solanum Lycopersicum.) gil^For price per pound, see Market Gardeners' List in last pages. BEAUTY ("Thoroughbred ")â âWe regard this tomato as decidedly the most valuable for both market and family gardens, as it possesses every really desir- able quality. It is early, large, uniform in size and very solid.
