X lb. 
German, Kiirbi§. French, Courge, i oz. to 50 hills. 
Squashes should be planted in a warm, light, rich soil after the weather has become settled 
and warm, about the middle of May or June. Plant in well-manured hills, in the same manner 
as pucumbers and melons — the bush varieties 3 or 4 feet apart each way, and the running kinds 
from 6 to 8 feet ; 8 or 10 seeds should be sown to each hill, thinning out after they have attained 
their rough leaves, and the danger from bugs is over, leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest plants per hill .
