SQUASH. 
Any good, rich soil is adapted to the growth of the Squash. They only 
thrive well in a warm temperature, as all the varieties are tender annuals; 
and the seed should not be sown in spring until all danger from frost is past, 
and the ground is warm and thoroughly settled. The hills for bush varieties 
should be about six feet apart, for running sorts, ten feet. Leave two plants 
to a hill, and keep covered in the early stages with plaster.— Bush varieties , 
one ounce to fifty hills; running varieties,—one ounce to fifteen hills; four pounds 
per acre.
