which is usually 1 to 2 months. Cultivate well

spring and at the end of pulling season. Plants

SUMMER SQUASHES. 
CULTURE.—About the same as melons. Make the ground very rich 
A good sandy loam is best. The squashes are all tender, and the seed 
should not be planted until warm weather. Allow 4x4 feet for the hills 
of the bush squashes and 8x8 feet or more for the running varieties. 
Three plants to the hill; 2 to 3 pounds of seed to the acre. For summei 
squashes estimate 4 ounces to 100 hills; for winter squashes 8 ounces to 
lou hills. Use Buhach or Slug Shot to keep down the bugs.
