Squash 
Any good, rich soil is adapted to the growth 
of the squash. They only thrive well in a warm 
temperature, as all the varieties are tender an¬ 
nuals, and the seed should not be sown in the 
spring until all danger from frost is past and 
the ground is warm and thoroughly settled. 
The hills for bush varieties should be about 
six feet apart; for running sorts, ten feet. Leave 
two plants to a hill. 
Running varieties, 1 ounce to 20 hills; 4 
pounds per acre. Bush varieties, 1 ounce to 60 
hills; 2 pounds per acre.

Tomato 
This vegetable is one of the most important 
of all garden products. They thrive best in a 
warm, light, rich soil. For early plants, sow 
about the first week in March in a hotbed, or in 
boxes or pots In a warm window. When the 
plants are about two inches high, set four inches 
apart In boxes three inches deep, or pot singly. 
If again transplanted before setting out, the 
plants will be still more stocky. Set out in the 
open ground about the first of June, four feet 
apart each way, using a shovelful of rotted 
manure in each hill. 
One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants.
