Select Hubbard 
SQUASH 
One ounce will sow 25 hills; 3 pounds an acre 
The Squash is best cultivated in good, rich soil. Being a tender vine and very 
sensitive to cold, the seed should not be sown until the weather is warm and settled. 
Plant in hills which have been previously prepared by mixing a plentiful supply of 
fertilizer into the soil. The hills for bush varieties should be 4 feet apart each way 
and 8 feet apart for the trailing-vine varieties. Six to eight seeds may be used to a 
hill, and thin out to two of the strongest plants when they have grown their third 
leaf. A spraying with arsenate of lead soluUon when the young plants appear above 
ground will protect them from the attack of insects.

warted Hubbard. Almost again as large, it will be extra 
fine for the hotels and restaurants, but too large for a 
market variety. This squash is sent out by the Minnesota
