Squash 
One-half ounce will plant 100 feet of row; 2 to 3 lb. per acre. 
CULTURE—Plant in well-manured hills, the 
bush varieties four feet apart each way, the 
winter sorts ten to twelve feet each way. Use 
seed freely, 8 to 12 seeds to the hill, to provide 
for losses by insects. When danger of such loss 
is past, thin to two or four plants to the hill. To 
repel the squash vine borer, throw a handful of 
tobacco dust close around the plants. For yellow- 
striped beetle and blight, spray early and re¬ 
peatedly with Bordo Arsenate.
