SQUASH. 



Calabaza (Sp.) 



_ Culture. Squashes should not be planted until all danger from frost has passed. They delight in a warm, thoroughly pulverized, very rich 

 soil. Plant in hills in May, mixing a shovelful or two of rotted manure with the soil in each hiU. For bush varieties, the hills should he from 

 5 to 6 feet apart; for running sorts, 10 feet apart. Put eight to ten seeds in each hill, and when well grown, thin out, leaving two or three of 

 the strongest plants to a hill. One ounce of small-seeded sorts sows 50 hills; large-seeded sorts, one ounce to 20 hills.
