Squash Pays Better Than Many Other Crops and Grows With a Minimum Amount of Labor 
SQUASH 
Plant 2 pounds of seed per acre of bush varieties and 1 pound of seed per acre of running varieties 
Culture. This is one of the quickest and easiest crops that can be grown, and often proves very profitable. 
The earliest varieties begin bearing in six to seven weeks from time of planting the seed. Squashes can be grown 
on almost any kind of soil. Use from 800 to 1,200 pounds of fertilizer per acre. 
For bush varieties, have rows 4 feet apart and hills 2 feet apart in the row; running varieties should be 
planted 4 by 4 feet. Put six to eight seeds in each hill, and thin out to two plants when 3 inches high. Squash in 
Florida is a good paying crop for fall or spring. Plant in spring, during January, February, and March; in fall, 
from August until October. The early Squash brings the money.
