SQUASHES 
Calabacera Ivurbiss Courge 
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 mel¬ 
ons, 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 va¬ 
rieties is recommended as 
having a tendency to pro¬ 
mote growth and early 
maturity of the fruit. One 
ounce of seed will plant 
from 15 to 50 hills. 
Early White Bush Scal¬ 
loped. An early variety, 
well flavored and pro¬ 
ductive; excellent for the 
market. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 
10 cts., lb. 75 cts.
