Squash 
One ounce will plant 30 hills; 3 to 4 pounds 
an acre. 
CULTURE. The plants are very tender and 
sensitive to cold, and planting- must be delayed 
until settled, warm weather. The general prin¬ 
ciples of culture are the same as those given 
for cucumbers and melons, but the plants are 
less particular as to soil. The summer varie¬ 
ties should be planted 4 feet apart each way 
and the winter sorts 8 feet. Three plants are 
sufficient for a hill. Care should be taken not 
to break the stems from the squashes intended 
for winter use, as the slightest injury will in¬ 
crease the liability to decay.

Sweet Corn 
One pound will plant about 180 hills; 10 to 
12 pounds to an acre, in hills. 
CULTURE. Sweet Corn should not be 
planted very early in the season; the soil 
must be warm and should be a rich loam. 
If planted too early the seed is apt to rot. 
Sweet Corn will not make any progress 
until the weather is warm. If possible select 
a sheltered location for the very early 
kinds. A succession can be continued with 
the later kinds by planting at regular in¬ 
tervals from June to middle of August, thus 
insuring a continuous supply of table corn 
throughout the summer and fall months. 
Plant the small early varieties in drills 2 Y 2 
feet apart and 10 inches apart in the rows. 
The taller varieties should be planted in 
drills 3 feet apart and 12 to 14 inches apart 
in the rows. Rich manure worked into the 
soil will increase the crop.
