CULTURE. 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 cook- 

 ing in the tender green state, and the other for storing for win- 

 ter 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.
