Sell them to Bakers and Restaurants 
HOW TO GROW SQUASH.—Plant 8 or 10 seeds in each hill and have hills of bush varieties 3 to 4 feet apart and vining 
late sorts 6 to 8 feet apart each way. After danger of bugs is over, thin out all but four of the best plants. Before planting 
seeds, work manure in each hill. Dust with Slug-Shot to kill the Squash-bug. Squash can also be grown like pumpkins in 
the cornfields at the same time you plant the corn, in every fourth hill. One ounce will plant 25 hills; 4 pounds to the acre.
