Hubbard Squash. >Bay State Squash. 
As all squashes 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 four feet apart; for running sorts, eight feet. Thin out to two plants to a hill, and in the 
early stages of growth keep well sprinkled with plaster dust. Busk varieties , one ounce to 40 hills ; running varieties, 
one ounce to 20 hills ; two to four pounds per acre.
