Squash 
German—Kurbis. Italian—Zucca. Spanishi—Calabana. 
Squashes are divided into two distinct classes—summer 
and winter. Although they neither resemble nor taste 
alike, both are known as squashes. The majority of the 
summer varieties are the bush sorts—while most winter 
varieties are the running sorts. 
Culture: Squash do not demand much cultivation and 
thrive on almost any soil. Never plant squash until all 
danger of frost is past, for they are very sensitive to cold. 
The culture of squash is about the same as that for pump¬ 
kins and melons. Summer or bush varieties should be 
planted in rows 3 feet apart and 3% feet in the row, for 
these sorts are produced on bushes and never traiL Winter 
varieties should be planted in hills about 4 to 5 feet apart 
and allowed to vine and trail all over the ground. Drop 
4 to 5 seeds to the hill.
