CULTURE—Plant in well-manured hills, the bush 
varieties four feet apart each way, the winter sorts 
ten to twelve feet each way. Use seedl freely, 8 to

When danger of such loss is past, thin to two or 
four plants' to the hill. To repel the squash vine 
borer, throw a handful of tobacco d'ust close around 
the plants. For yellow-striped beetle and blight, 
spray early and repeatedly with Bordo Arsenate.
