Squashes. 



(©peife=£iirbi3.) 



QUASH seeds should be planted at about the same time and in much 

 the same manner as cucumbers and melons. The hills should be 

 9 feet apart each way, slightly elevated and highly manured. 

 Bush varieties may be planted closer together. Use plenty of seed, 

 as the bugs will destroy some plants. An ounce of seed will 

 plant from 20 to 40 hills.
