“BEST BY EVERY TEST” 
SQUASH 
A S SQUASH plants are tender and sensitive to cold, do not plant until the ground is warm. 
_ The bush varieties should be planted in hills 4 to 5 feet apart each way and the Winter 
sorts 8 to 10 feet apart each way. Thin out to three plants per hill. As soon as they 
appear above the ground, dust with air-slacked lime or tobacco dust to control insect attacks 
and repeat as often as the bugs appear until the plants are well established. For yellow-striped 
beetle and blight spray often with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead. Sow one ounce for twenty-five 
hills or four pounds per acre for Summer squash and one ounce to ten hills, or three pounds 
per acre for Winter squash.
