SQUASH - 



eise-Kurbis, Ger. 



CULTURE. — Squashes should be planted in a warm, rich soil, after the weather has become settled and warm, 

 about the middle of May or Jime. Plant in well-manured hills, in the same manner as Cucumbers and Melons — the 

 bush varieties 3 or 4 feet apart each way, and the running kinds 6 to 8 feet. Eight to ten seeds should be sown in each 

 hill, thinning out after they have attamed their rough leaves and danger from bugs is over, leaving three or four of the 

 strongest plants per hill. An occasional feeding of liquid manure will repay in size of fruits.
