 Culture— It has been only recently that scientists have discovered the presence of 

 remarkable quantities of vitamins in summer squash and doctors now prescribe an 

 abundance of squash for children. Sow at Corn planting time, in well-manured hills, 

 1 inch deep, the bush varieties 4 feet apart each way, the winter sorts 10 to 12 feet each 

 way, and thin out to 2 to 4 plants to the hill. 



Early Bush Summer Squash 



These early varieties are ready for table use while their skin is still tender and soft. 

 They are splendid for summer and fall use but are not suited to winter storing. Depending

 garden.

 Long White Bush, which is a bush variety 

 and Long Cream Trailing, which is a vine

 table before they are quite fully grown at 

 which time their flavor is at the best.
