SQUASH 
CULTURE. Seed should not be planted until all danger of frost is past. Light warm soil 
is best. It may be put into two separate grounds; the Dwarf or Bush type and Vining 
type. The Vining or Winter Squash requires a lot of room and can be grown only in the 
large garden like pumpkins. The bush or summer Squash can be grown in any moderate 
garden and these deserve much more general cultivation. Plant about 6 to 10 seeds in 
each hill and thin to 3 best plants. When plants are of fair size the earth about the plants 
should be kept loose and cleared from weeds until runners are well started. Plants may 
be protected with Hotkaps. 2 to 3 pounds of seed will plant an acre.
