^SQUASH... 



Two ounces for fifty hills. Bush varieties 

 five to six pounds, and running varieties three 

 to four pounds In hills for an acre. 



mC/^]i/icfl is one of the most nutri- 

 OliUadll tious and valuable of our 

 garden vegetables. The summer varieties 

 come to the table early in the season, while 

 the winter sorts can be had in perfection 

 from August until the summer sorts are 

 again in condition. Plants are tender and 

 sensitive to cold, and planting must be de- 

 layed until settled warm weather. Gen- 

 eral principles of culture are the same as 

 those given for cucumbers and melons, but 

 the plants are less particular as to soil. The 

 summer varieties should be planted four to 

 six feet apart each way, and the winter 

 sorts eight to ten; three plants are suffi- 

 cient for a hill.
