Squash 
German—-Kurbis Spanish—Calabana 
Italian—Zucca. 
Squashes are divided into two different classes—summer and 
winter. Although they neither resemble nor taste alike, both 
are known as squashes. The majority of the summer varieties 
are the bush sorts—while most winter varieties are the running 
sorts. 
Culture: Squash do not demand much cultivation and thrive 
on almost any soil. Never plant squash until all danger of frost 
is past, for they are very sensitive to cold. The culture of 
squash is about the same as that for pumpkins and melons. 
Summer or bush varieties should be planted in rows 3 feet 
apart and 3 1/2 feet in the row, for these sorts are produced 
on bushes and never trail. Winter varieties should be planted 
in hills about 4 to 5 feet apart and allowed to vine and trail 
all over the ground. Drop 4 to 5 seeds to the hill.
