CULTURE—Plant in well-manured hills, the bush 
varieties four feet apart each way, the winter sorts

When danger of such loss is past, thin to two or 
four plants to the hill. To repel the squash vine 
borer, Ihrow a handful of tobacco dust close around 
the plants. For yellow-striped beetle and blight, 
spray early and repeatedly with Bordo Arsenate.
