Squash Pays Better Than Many Other Fall Cro ps and Grow s With a Minimum Amount of Labor 
SQUASH 
Plant 2 pounds of seed per acre of bush varieties 
Culture. This is one of the quickest and easiest crops that can be grown, and often proves very profitable. The earliest varieties 
begin bearing in six or seven weeks from time of planting seed. Squashes can be grown on almost any kind of soil. Use from 800 to 
1,200 pounds of fertilizer per acre. 
For bush varieties, have rows 4 feet apart and hills 2 feet apart in the row. Put six to eight seeds in each hill, and thin out to 
two plants when 3 inches high. Squash in Florida is a good paying crop for fall or spriilg. Plant in fall, from August until October. 
The early squash brings the money.
