SQUASH

One ounce will sow 20 to 50 hills; 3 to 4 pounds, an acre 
This is a popular vegetable for summer and winter use, and being susceptible to cold it 
should not be planted until the ground is thoroughly warm. The bush sorts should be planted 
in hills 4 to 5 feet apart each way; the running varieties, 8 to 12 feet apart. Place 8 to 10 seeds 
in a hill, and when the third stage of leaves is set, thin out to about 4 plants in a hill.
