Giant Summer Straightneck 
SQUASH 
Warm and highly manured soil is required for 
the most successful culture of Squash. The sum¬ 
mer kinds, nearly all of which are of bush growth, 
should be planted in hills 4 feet apart each way, 
while the winter and other running varieties require 
8 to 10 feet. When thinning, leave only 3 or 4 
plants to a hill. Winter Squashes are frequently 
grown in cornfields in the same manner as Pumpkins.
