SQUASH 
CULTURE. Seed should not be planted until all danger of frost is past. Light warm soil is 
best. It may be put into two separate grounds; the Dwarf or Bush type and Vining type. 
The Vining or Winter Squash requires a lot of room and can be grown only in the large 
garden like pumpkins. The Bush or Summer Squash can be grown in any moderate garden 
and these deserve much more general cultivation. Plant about 6 to 1 0 seeds in each hill and 
thin to 3 best plants. When plants are of fair size the earth about the plants should be kept 
loose and cleared from weeds until runners are well started. Plants may be protected with 
Hotkaps. 2 to 3 pounds of seeds plants an acre.
