Squash Pays Better Than Many Other Fall Crops and Grows With a Minimum Amount of Labor 
SQUASH 
Plant 2 to 3 pounds per acre of bush varieties and 1 pound per acre of running varieties 
Culture. Squashes can be grown on almost any 
kind of soil. Use from 800 to 1,200 pounds of fer¬ 
tilizer per acre. 
For bush varieties, have rows 4 feet apart and 
hills 2 feet apart in the row. Running varieties 
should be planted at least 8 by 8 feet apart. Put 
six to eight seeds in each hill, and thin out to two 
plants when 3 inches high. Plant in fall, from 
August until October.

TABLE QUEEN. (60 days.) Although belonging to the run¬ 
ning sorts, this squash is as early as the bush types and should 
become very popular. Its very dark green fruit is small, weigh¬ 
ing about 2 pounds, and is about 5 to 6 inches long and 414 
inches in diameter, with the sides deeply ridged. Its flesh is 
very fine and sweet. When halved and baked, it will serve two

Culture for Bloomsdale Spinach. Successful for fall and 
winter planting. Does not grow well in hot weather. Plant seed 
in rows 16 to 20 inches apart and thin to 4 to 6 inches apart in 
the row. May be planted broadcast, thinning plants to stand 
about 10 by 10 inches apart. Plant 1 oz. of seed per hundred feet 
of row or 12 to 15 lbs. per acre in rows, or 20 to 25 lbs. broadcast. 
BLOOMSDALE. (35 days.) Our re-selected strain of this 
variety is the very best obtainable; disease-resistant, early, and 
hardy. The plant is of rapid, upright growth, with very thick, 
glossy, dark green leaves of medium size, pointed but quite 
broad and crumpled or blistered. This is the best winter va¬ 
riety and a great favorite with Florida shippers. 
Pkt. 5c; Mlb. 15c; 1 lb. 50c. 
Culture for New Zealand Spinach. As seeds are very hard 
and germinate with difficulty, soak them in warm water for 
twenty-four hours to hasten germination. Plant seed in rows two 
feet apart, and drop three or four seeds per hill about 20 inches 
apart in the row. Plant three to four pounds of seed per acre. 
NEW ZEALAND. (55 days.) Entirely distinct from the 
true Spinach. The plant is tall and very spreading, with 
numerous side shoots. It grows to a height of 1 foot and 
spreads to a radius of 2 feet. Leaves are very thick, light 
green, rather small, broad and pointed. It grows well in hot 
weather and under adverse conditions, and is sometimes called 
“Summer” or “Hot-weather Spinach.” The leafy tips of the 
branches are removed and new growth follows, making possible 
many cuttings.
