FROM OUR SEED FARMS DIRECT TO THE PLANTER 27 
. SQUASH 
Culture —Warm and highly manured soil is required 
for the successful culture of Squash. The Summer 
kinds,-nearly all of which are of bush growth, should 
be planted in hills 4 feet apart each way, while the 
Winter or running varieties should be planted in hills 
8 to 10 feet apart. When thinning out leave three 
of the sturdiest plants in each hill. One ounce of 
seed to 25 hills for Summer varieties; 2 ounces to the 
same number of hills for Winter sorts. Winter 
Squashes are frequently grown in cornfields in the 
same manner as Pumpldns.
