The seed should 
Calabacera Kurbiss Courge 
Light, warm soil is best adapted to the growth of the Squash, 
not be sown until all danger from frost is past. Plant in hills, prepared in the same 
manner as for cucumbers and melons, the bush kinds about 4 feet apart, and the run¬ 
ning varieties from 6 to 9 feet apart, according to their nature, as some will run more 
than others.. Plant about one-half dozen seeds in each hill. The earth about the 
plants should be kept loose, and clear from weeds until runners are well started. 
Cutting 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.
