SQUASH — Summer and Winter Sorts 
The Squash is a very tender annual, and should not be planted until all danger from frost is past, and the 
ground is warm, settled and dry; as, aside from the tender nature of the plant, the seed is liable to rot in damp, 
cool weather. Be careful though to get the winter kinds planted as soon as safe, in order that they may have 
ample time in which to thoroughly mature. Plant in hills 6 to 6 feet apart for bush varieties, such as Mammoth 
Yellow Bush Scallop, Giant Golden Summer Crookneck, etc., and in hills 6 to 8 feet apart for running varieties, 
■uch as the Hubbards, and other winter sorts; the hills should be thoroughly manured. Slightly elevate the 
hills and place seven or eight seeds in each, so as to have plenty for the bugs, finally leaving but three plants. 
Press the seeds down firmly before covering, and cover early planted ones one inch deep, and late one and one- 
half inches.
