Hubbard. 
Summer Crook-Neck. 
Light, warm soil is best adapted to the growth 
of the Squash. The seed should not be sown until 
all danger from frost is past. Plant in hills—pre¬ 
pared in the same manner as for Cucumbers and Melons 
— the bush kinds about 4 feet apart, and the running 
varieties from 6 to 9, according to their nature, as some 
will run more than others. Plant about ]/t. dozen seeds in 
each hill. The earth about the plants should be kept loose 
and clean from weeds until runners are well started. Cut¬ 
ting off the leading shoots of the running varieties is 
recommended as having a tendency to promote growth and 
early maturity of the fruit. One ounce of seed will plant from 15 to 50 hills.
