WINTER SQUASH 
Sow seed of winter squashes later than the summer varieties, planting in 
hills, 8 x 8 ft. each way, and using 6 to 8 seeds to a hill. When plants 
are about 5 in. tall, thin to 3 plants to a hill. Squash must remain on 
the vine until fully matured; gather them before frost, leaving 
part of the stem attached to the fruit. Handle them carefully to 
avoid bruising the fruit. Keep in a moderately warm, dry place 
during the winter. Many of the varieties listed below make excel¬ 
lent “pumpkin” pie. One pkt. will plant 8 hills; 1 oz. 25 hills; 
2 to 3 lbs. one acre.
