Culture same as Winter Squash; if planted with 
Corn, drop two or three seeds in every third or fourth 
Corn hill at the time of the first hoeing. If planted in 
fields by themselves, drop five or six seeds in hills 8 
to 10 feet apart each way, cover about 34 inch, and 
thin out to three plants in each hill after the vines are 
well started.

pounds for one acre.
