SQUASH. 
German, &urbi$. French, Courge. 
All the varieties are quite tender, and consequently should not be planted until 
all danger of frost is over and there is a good prospect of warm weather ; but we 
advise getting in the winter varieties as esrly as possible and encourage a rapid 
growth in order to have them mature. Cultivate same as Melons or Cucumbers, 
except that with the running varieties the hills should be about six feet apart. 
One ounce will plant 30 to 40 hills. pkt. cts.
