Squash or Cymling 
Summer Squash requires one ounce to 30 hills. Winter varieties one ounce to 15 hills and 3 to 
4 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE Plant when the weather has become settled and the ground fairly warm. Bush 
varieties are planted 3x4 feet; running varieties 0x8 feet; about 4 to 6 seeds per hill and thin 
out later leaving the strongest plants about 3 to the hill. Hills similar to those made for Cucumbers 
with weli rotted manure or fertilizer are best. Winter varieties may be stored in a moderately warm 
dry place of even temperature. 
INSECT PESTS. For the Striped Beetle, see under Cantaloupes. For the Squash Bug, Tobacco 
Dust is sometimes a preventive, but Kerosene Emulsion is the best remedy.

immense amount of vine is wanted quickly. Most 
sorts are good for 20 to 30 feet in a season, and 
the blooms of some are quite striking and hand- 
some. With many sorts the fruit is unique and 
ornamental and useful. The small fancy gouards 
are excellent toys for children, while the larger 
gourds may be used as dippers, sugar troughs and 
bowls. 10c per basket.
