EARLY WHITE BUSH 
SQUASH 
CULTURE—The squash is a tender annual, and should not be planted until all danger from frost is past, 
and the ground is warm, settled and dry; as aside from the tender nature of the plant, the seed is liable 
to rot in damp, cold weather. Plant in hills 5 to 6 feet for the bush varieties, such as White Bush Scal¬ 
lop, Yellow Summer Crookneck, etc., and in hills 6 to 8 feet apart for running varieties such as the 
Hubbards and other winter sorts; hills should be thoroughly manured. Slightly elevate hills and place 7 or 
8 seeds in each, so as to have plenty for the bugs, finally leaving but 3 plants. Press seed down firmly 
before covering; cover early planted ones 1 inch and late ones 1V& inches. 1 oz. plants from 30 to 40 hills. 
2 lbs. to 3 lbs. per acre.
