Squash 
Ger.—Kurliiss. Scnnd.—Squash-Graesknr. 
(One ounce to 25 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. to the acre) 
There are two distinct types. The Summer va¬ 
rieties are cultivated for the tender young fruits 
which are used in the green or growing stage dur¬ 
ing the Summer months. The Winter Squashes 
produce larger hard-shell fruits, which are gath¬ 
ered in the Fall before there is danger of their be¬ 
ing injured by frost, and stored in a warm, dry 
place for Winter use. Be sure and leave part of 
the stem attached to the fruits. A few varieties 
may be used in either state.
