Squash 
One ounce will plant 30 hills; 
3 to 4 pounds an acre. 
CUL’TURE. The plants are very tender and 
sensitive to cold, and planting must be delayed 
until settled, warm weather. The general prin¬ 
ciples of culture are the same as those given 
for cucumbers and melons, but the plants are 
less particular as to soil. The summer varie¬ 
ties should be planted 4 feet apart each way 
and the winter sorts 8 feet. Three plants are 
sufficient for a hill. Care should be taken not 
to break the stems from the squashes intended 
for winter use, as the slightest injury will in¬ 
crease the liability to decay.

Sweet Corn 
One pound will plant about 180 hills; 10 to 
12 pounds to an acre, in hills. 
CULTURE. Sweet Corn should 
not be planted very early in the 
season; the soil must be warm 
and should be a rich loam. If 
planted too early the seed is apt 
to rot. Sweet Corn will not make 
any progress until the weather 
is warm. If possible select a 
sheltered location for the very 
early kinds. A succession can 
be continued with the later kinds 
by planting at regular intervals 
from June to middle of August, 
thus insuring a continuous sup¬ 
ply of table corn throughout the 
summer and fall months. Plant 
the small early varieties in drills 
2 y 2 ft. apart and 10 in. apart in 
the rows. The taller varieties 
should be planted in drills 3 ft. 
apart and 12 to 14 in. apart in 
the rows. Rich manure worked 
into the soil will increase the 
crop.
