Sow during March in hills from three to four feet apart, six to eight 
seeds. When well up, thin them out to three of the strongest plants. 
For a succession they can be planted as late as June. Some who pro- 
tect by boxes plant as soon as the first of February, but it is best to wait 
till the ground gets warm. When it is time to plant Corn, it is time 
to plant Squash.
