WALTER S. SCHELL'S QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 
SQUASH 
HOW TO GROW SQUASH.— Plant 8 or 10 seeds in each 
hill and have hills of bush varieties 3 to 4 feet apart and vining 
late sorts 6 to 8 feet apart each way. After danger of bugs is 
over, thin out all but four of the best plants. Before planting 
seeds, work manure in each hill. Winter Squash are also grown 
like Pumpkins in the com fields at the same time you plant the 
com, in every fourth hill. Spray Squash vines with pyrox to 
kill bugs and prevent blight. One ounce will plant 25 hills; 
4 pounds to the acre.

Both Squash and 
Turnip can be grown 
in the cornfields, thus 
doubling your crops, 
and both are profit- 
able crops. For sev- 
eral years Turnips 
have been bringing 
good prices and they 
require little work.

TURINIP 
HOW TO GROW THEM. 
— To have Turnips early, sow 
seed in early spiing; for win- 
ter crop, sow in July and Aug- 
ust. Sow alone or in corn- 
fields at last cultivation of the 
corn. 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 foli- 
age with only a small thin root 
instead of the heavy globe 
root and medium foliage it 
naturally should produce. 
One ounce of seed will sow a 
row 200 feet long; 2 pounds 
to the acre.
