SQUASH. 
German, Kurbiss .—French Co urge. —Spanish, Cal aba za Tontanera. 
As all Squash are somewhat tender, they should not be planted out 
until danger from frost is past. They will grow' on almost any soil, but a 
warm, mellow one that has been well manured suits them best. The hills 
for bush varieties should be about six feet apart; for running sorts, eight 
to ten feet. Thin out to two plants to a hill, and in the early stages of 
growth keep well sprinkled with plaster dust. Bush varieties, one ounce 
to fifty hills; running varieties, one ounce to twenty hills; four pounds 
per acre.
