German—Kurbis 
Squash 
Italian—Zucca. Spanish—Calabana 
Squashes are divided into two different classes—summer and 
winter. Although they neither resemble nor taste alike, both 
are known as squashes. The majority of the summer varieties 
are the bush sorts—while most winter varieties are the running 
sorts. 
Culture: Squash do not demand much cultivation and thrive 
on almost any soil. Never plant squash until all danger of frost 
is past, for they are very sensitive to cold. The culture of 
squash is about the same as that for pumpkins and melons. 
Summer or bush varieties should be planted in rows 3 feet 
apart and V /2 feet in the row, for these sorts are produced 
on bushes and never trail. Winter varieties should be planted 
in hills about 4 to 5 feet apart and allowed to vine and trail 
all over the ground. Drop 4 to 5 seeds to the hill. 
Summer Varieties 
Early White Bush Scallop or Patty Pan. The plant is 
bushy and bears creamy-white patty-shaped fruits, scalloped 
on the edges. The flesh and skin is milk-white, firm, smooth 
and richly flavored. This is the most popular of white 
summer squashes for home garden and shipping. In order 
to keep it bearing and producing the squash must be kept 
picked and never allowed to grow larger. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c;

creasing in popularity in this country. It grows to a length 
of 6 or 8 inches in about 65 days. At this size, the fruit is 
in prime condition for eating. The skin is dark green, be¬ 
coming marbled with yellow and light greens as it matures. 
The flesh is pale green, thick, firm, tender and of excellent 
quality. The entire fruit is edible. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 34 lb.,

orange and intensely warted. Flesh light yellow.
