HOW TO GROW 
SQUASH 
The Summer and Italian Squash we offer are all 
bush in habit of growth. Use the same culture 
as for cucumbers. See page 21. Plant % lb. of 
seed to 100 hills, 4 lbs. per acre, hills 3 feet apart 
each way. Winter and Autumn Squash are trailing or vining. Culture 
is the same as for pumpkins as given on page 62, also see page 2 for 
preparation of the soil. Sow 8 ounces to 100 hills, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre, 
hills 5 to 8 feet apart each way. 
Our Squash Seed We are one of the most extensive growers of 
^ squash seed in the United States. Our fields are 
well separated to prevent cross pollenation; this 
being an important item in the growing of squash seed as they will 
mix at a much greater distance than any other vegetable. Market 
growers will find our squash true to type and uniform. No grower 
uses more care in the production of his stock. 
Dwarf Yellow Summer Crookneck is a favorite in the south for fall 
planting; Early White Bush is a nice bright green when young, turning 
to pure white when mature. In some sections Dwarf Bush Green is tak¬ 
ing the place of the Early White Bush because of its deeper green color. 
The Italian varieties are becoming more popular each year. The east 
and south seem to prefer Cocozelle while California planters like the 
Zucchinis. Be sure and try the New Golden Table Queen. It is very 
attractive, easily grown and will add a great deal of color to your 
roadside market display. We are making a special price on Pikes Peak 
as we have a surplus. It is a good variety and seems to withstand 
the attack of black squash bugs better than other winter sorts.
