Culture: Winter squashes require the same general 
cultural directions as the summer varieties but need 
a longer growing season to mature. Fruits must 
remain on the vine until they have fully matured; 
gather them before frost, ledving part of the stem 
attached. Keep in a moderately warm, dry place 
until used. Handle carefully so as not to bruise 
them, for bruises may cause decay. Examine fruits 
in storage from time to time. Many of the winter 
squashes make excellent ‘“‘pumpkin”’ pie. Because 
the plants make such a vigorous, rampant growth, 
the hills should be spaced 8 by 8 ft. apart. The 
use of Hotkaps when the seed is planted insures 
against insect damage. See page 53 for more details.
