SQUASH 
(®t)etfe Riitbig) 
HOW TO GROW SQUASH.— Plant 8 or 10 seeds in each liill and have hills 
of bush varieties 3 to 4 feet apart and vining late sorts 6 to S feet apart each way. 
After danger of bugs is over, thin out all but four of the best plants. Before plant- 
ing seeds, work manure in each hill. Winter Squash are also grown like Pumpkins 
in the corn fields at the same time you plant the com, in every fourth hill. Spray 
West's "Firstearly." Sec how they yield 
Squash vines with pyrox to kill bugs and prevent blight. One ounce will plant 25 hills; 4 pounds to the acre.

SMALLEST CROP OF 
(Siiibe) seed on record 
HOW TO GROW TURNIPS.— To have Turnips early, 
sow seed in early spring; for winter crop, sow in July and Aug- 
ust. Sow alone or in cornfields at last cultivation of the com. 
Do not sow too thick; in small gardens thin plants to 4 inches 
apart. Do not make soil too rich. Where chicken manure or 
heavy applications of stable manure have been used, it has 
caused the growth principally of foliage with only a small thin 
root instead of the heavy globe root and medium foliage it 
naturally should produce. Turnip seed is very scarce, almost 
unobtainable; so do not delay ordering. Two pounds will seed 
an acre at a cost of $5, and it is worth almost as much as pota- 
toes. One ounce of seed will sow a row 200 feet long; 2 
pounds to the acre. 
My Turnip seed is of a quality unexcelled, producing 
Turnips perfect in shape, tender and sweet.
