SQUASH 



1 oz. Bush Varieties for 40 Hills. 

 Larg-e Seeded Varieties, 1 oz. 15 Hills. 



CniiT'USJE. Sow in hills in the same manner and at the same 

 time as cucumbers and melons, the bush varieties 3 to 4 feet 

 apart, and the running kinds from 6 to 9 feet apart. 



There are two kinds of squashes — one for summer use for 

 cooking in the tender green state, and the other for storing for 

 winter use. 



Owing to the high cost of meat, one should arrange for a boun- 

 tiful supply of both the Summer and Winter varieties, as the 

 former may be fried and served like egg-plant and the latter are 

 very palatable when stewed and served alone or made into pies.
