The early varieties are so delicate in flavour while the later kinds (Acorn and Hubbard) are stronger both in flavor and color. Some of the summer squash are easily named because of their shape - -The Yellow Crookneck, The Button and Vegetable Marrow. Others that are more difficult to label are ones like Zucchini and Cymlings, If you do not know tthem, take a trip to a market where gardeners can tell you about these interesting species, TAKE A TIP 1.

Our preferred method of cooking squash is in a colander or sieve over boiling water. We sprinkle a teaspoon of salt on prepared serv- ing size pieces. The kettle is cover- ed as tightly as possible. Since squash is surprisingly watery, it will mash as soon as skins can be he removed—and you can see the skins partly separate from the pulp in about 20 minutes. Beat in 1 tab- lespoon top milk and a pinch of pepper, then serve. 9, Prepare squash for pie filling the same as pumpkin. THE QUESTION BOX. Mrs. T. IC asks: How do you serve oyster plant?

Speer R Comments on the early colouring of maple leaves have been noticed in the local newspapers and the question has been asked why do some maples take on autumn tints in late August and early September? There are seven native species of the maple family found in Ontario. Five reach tree size and the common names of these arc as follows: Sugar or Hard Maple, slack Maple, Red or Swamp Maple, Silver or White Maple, Manitoba or Box Elder. The other two native maples are shrubs that seldom reach a height of more than fifteen feet, The Nor- way Maple, an introduced species from Europe, has been planted ex- tensively along city streets and on • private grounds. The species most common are the Sugar and Silver Maple. The Black Maple is comparaitvely rare and the leaf and general appearance is very much like the Sugar Maple. The Red and Silver Maple are mostly found in swamps, but both will grow on well-drained soils. The Silver Maple 'has been planted extensively along town and city streets in Western Ontario. Red Maples are sometimes ' found on city streets but these were probably planted accidentally as the Silver and Red Maple are difficult to tell apart when the leaves are not on the tree. 'I he Sugar and the Red Maple are the species that have a brilliant - unln colouring. In Ontario. most of the colouring with the maple in the woods and along streets are the Sug- ar Maples as there are perhaps hun- dreds of Sugar Maples to one Red Maple. During the latter part of Aug- ust and early September it will he noticed that the odd tree along city and town streets takes on brilliant colours and there will be swamp areas and single trees along fenee rows that also colour early each year. In most eases, these are Red Maps. More of these should be plante I along our streets and around our farm homes because of their eirly MAPLE LEAF TOILET SOAP CLARK'S FANCY TOMATO cs T20,..z. 2 for 2.71;1 GET YOUR COPY TODA : MAPIE LEAF FLIMES Free "Alice in Wonderland" Figurines LARGE FLAKE OR C.17ICK DUI:L cAys Lb. for inter41 PER VI STS COPY W.. p Reg.
