VEGETABLE SEEDS 
SQUASH 
Plant when the soil is quite warm, and all danger of frost is over. Sow a dozen seeds in each hill, 
and when danger from bugs is over, pull up all but three or four. A mellow warm soil is best. For 
bush sorts, make bills three or four feet apart, and for the running kinds twice that distance. 
Squash are in two classes 
— Summer and Winter. 
l‘he summer are used 
when quite young and 
tender, and the winter, 
when well ripened, will 
usually keep till spring.

TURNIPS 
The soil for Turnips should be rich and mellow. 
Sow in drills from twelve to eighteen inches apart, 
and half an inch deep. In this.climate we sow 
from the 25th of July until the middle of August. 
When the plants arc a few inches in height and 
strong enough to resist the attacks of insects, thin 
them out to some five or six inches apart in the 
drills. Swede or Ruta Baga Turnips should be 
sown the first of June, the rows being about 
eighteen inches apart, and the plants in the rows 
not less than ten inches. They arc excellent for 
all kinds of stock.
