C. C. MORSE & CO. — SEEDS — SAN FRANCISCO. CALIF. 
SQUASH 
The seed should be planted in hills four feet apart, using four ounces to 100 hills. The winter varieties are also unable to resist frt 
and should be planted at the same time. The fruit does not mature until late in the fall, and, having a very firm, hard shell k 
well, and with a little care squashes can be had all winter and until late in the spring. In gathering winter squashes, it is important 6 ? 8 
protect the stems, since, if broken off, the fruit will not keep so well. Plant in hills six to eight feet apart, using two or three seeds to tl, 
hill. Use eight ounces to 100 hills, or two pounds to an acre. Moderately rich soil will grow good squashes. "' 1
