Summer and 
Winter Sorts 
There are two kinds of squash, with differences in habit of growth. The “summer” or bush sorts require about 
the same space as cucumbers. The “winter” or trailing 1 squash needs as much room as pumpkins. The culture is 
practically the same as for pumpkins and melons. The “summer” varieties are used only when, young and are not 
good eating when the shell hardens. The “winter” squashes are allowed to mature, are edible for months, can be 
stored, and used in a variety of ways. They furnish a balanced ration for live stock. 
Winter Squash are grown in Southern Michigan on a large scale for feeding stock. Some stock farmers and dairy¬ 
men put in from lb to 2b acres every year and consider this crop one of the most profitable on the farm. Kaisers 
of hogs also say that nothing will equal Squash for conditioning hogs for market. 
One ounce of the bush varieties to 4b hills, or of the larger-seeded kinds, 15 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. of the bush and 
2 or 4 lbs. of the large-seeded for an acre. 
New Golden Delicious 
Delicata or Sweet Potato Squash 
This remarkable new sort we believe will become very 
popular with market gardeners and home gardeners, while 
for canning it is of highest quality. The skin is a bright 
reddish-orange and the flesh is rich golden orange. The 
flesh is 2 to 3 inches thick and there is no green zone near 
the rind. It cooks extra dry, fine grained and sweet. 
Many who have grown it say “it is better than sweet po¬ 
tato.” The skin is thin without a hard shell but it is a 
fine keeper for winter use . Besides all its other fine quali¬ 
fies it is the finest squash 
for pies. Pkt., lbc; oz.,
