Mammoth White Bush. 
Bush or Summer Varieties 
Squashes may be put into two separate groups; the 
dwarf or bush type and the vining type. The vining or 
winter squashes require a lot of room and can be grown 
only in the large garden or in the corn field like pump- 
kins. The bush or summer squashes can be grown in 
any moderate garden and these deserve much more gen- 
eral cultivation. 
The summer or bush squashes should be planted in 
hills from four to five feet apart and the winter or 
vining kinds in hills from 6 to 10 feet apart. Squashes 
are heavy feeders and it is therefore beneficial to put 
two or three fork-fulls of manure in each hill. 
Plant from 10 to 12 seeds in each hill but when the 
plants are of fair size thin them down to three plants to 
the hill. One ounce will plant about 40 hills of the 
small sorts and about 20 of the large sorts. 4 to 5 pounds 
to the acre. 
Bug Death will kill all insects which eat or chew the 
leaves and stems of plants but at the same time it is not 
poisonous. Order some with your seeds. You will surely 
need it sooner or later. 
If your Squash or Cucumber vines are troubled with 
plant lice get some Bug Death Aphis. It 'is not expensive 
and kills these plant lice.

Winter Squashes 
GREGORY'S DELICIOUS. This fine new win- 
ter Squash, now offered by us to the Western 
Planters is of the finest quality possible. The 
Eastern people have had it for the past few years, 
and the popularity of this splendid variety in- 
creases steadily. In size it closely resembled the 
original Hubbard. In color it is almost uniform 
with occasionally a blue specimen. The thickness 
of its flesh surpasses nearly every other variety; 
the color being a dark orange. For table use it 
cannot be excelled; these Squashes represent a 
remarkable combination of fineness and compact- 
ness of grain, dryness, sweetness, and exceeding 
richness of flavor. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; V A lb., 55c; 
lb., $2.00.
