REAL ESTATE. AND ITS ENVIRONS Conducted b, There have been many times this Summer when a small irrigation out- sit would have been a fine asset in the vegetdble garden. In the absence of sufficient moisture, cultural prac- tices, no matter how nearly perfect, fail to keep the plan growing thriftily. Several firms are now con- structing _sprinkiers for the home garden. These cover from one position an mately 50 feet square > moving is neces- small garden. light in weight «d by one per- tes $40.

I HUBBARD SQUASH Of the many Winter squashes there is none as popular as the Hubbard, the bluish green variety appearing in our markets in late Fall and early Winter. ‘This variety was for many years a puzzle to gardeners because ! of the great variation in size, shape | and color of the fruits. Because of this tendency to vary, it became very difficult for’ commercial growers to fill the requirements of their various markets. Investigators at the Minne- sota and Vermont agricultural sta. tions found that the so-called Hub- bard variety was in reality a mixture of several quite similar varieties or strains. It was possible by prevent- ing cross nollination and transferring pollen troin flower to flower on a single plant to separate the original Hubbard into several Hubbards, dif- fering in many characteristics. One of the Minnesota selections, charac- terized by the production of a large number of small squashes, is known as kitchenette Hubbard and is becom- ing very popular among housewives who prefer a small-sized entire squash to a portion of a larger one. PEAR VARIETIES. I The great multitude of pear varie- ties is very confusing to the amateur orchardist who may be planning a small home planting. In fact, there are so many high quality pears that ] it is somewhat difficult for any one to select a small list. is about the first of the early ripening varieties to possess both size and good quality. This is a yellow pear with reddish cheel where exposed to the sun. It is a poor keeper and must be used promptly on reaching ma- turity. Bartlett, the standard variety, is well known to every one and should be included in every home planting.
