White Bush Scalloped Squash 
Giant Summer Straightneck Squash 
Squashes 
Squash seed should be planted at about the same time and 
in the same manner as cucumbers and melons. The hills 
should be 9 feet apart each way, slightly elevated, and highly 
manured. Bush varieties may be planted closer together. Use 
plenty of seed, as the bugs will destroy some plants. 
Summer varieties, sow 4 ounces to 100 hills; 4 pounds, an acre 
Winter varieties, 8 ounces to 100 hills; 2 pounds, an acre

Marrow. Fruits deeper orange, more rounded, thicker, 
smaller seed cavity, better flesh. A productive, good keeper.
