 dry, rich soil. Plant the running varieties in hills ten feet 

 apart each way; thin out to three plants in a hill. Culti- 

 vate frequently until the vines commence running, after 

 which do not work the soil deep. Use Paris Green to 

 destroy bugs, as with Cucumbers. Plant Bush Squashes 

 in hills five feet apart each way; thin out to four plants in 

 a hill.
