CULTURE.—Squash plants are very tender and sensitive 
to cold, and so planting must be delayed until settled warm 
weather. General methods of culture are same as for Cu¬ 
cumbers and Melons, but Squash is less particular as to 
soil. Summer varieties should be planted 4 to 6 feet apart 
each way, and Winter sorts 8 to 10. Three plants are suffi-

Turnip 
CULTURE.—For Summer use sow early in Spring in 
light, rich soil, in drills IY 2 feet apart, according to the 
size of the variety, and cover Y 2 inch deep, or sow broad¬ 
cast, but in either case be sure to have the ground rich 
and freshly stirred. Thin early and keep free from weeds, 
so that the young plants will not be checked in growth. 
For Fall and Winter use sow the seed from middle of June 
to the first of August and in the manner given for Spring 
sowing. In the field Turnips are often sown broadcast at 
the rate of IV 2 pounds to the acre.
