Squashes should not be planted until all danger from frost has passed. They delight in a warm, thoroughly pulverized, very rich soil. Plant in hills 

 in May, mixing with the soil in each hill a shovelful or two of rotted manure. For bush varieties the hills should be from 5 to 6 feet apart, for runnin" 

 sorts 10 feet apart. Put 8 or 10 seeds in each hill, and when well grown thin, leaving 2 or 3 of the strongest plants to a hill. Small seeded sorts, one ounce to 

 50 hills; large seeded sorts, one ounce to 15 hills.
