CHlture. Plantings should not be made until all dan¬ 
ger of frost is over, and the ground warm. Piant in 
hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way, dropping 6 
to 8 seeds to the hill and covering firmly 
with % inch of fine soil. When plants 
have attained their fourth leaves, thin 
out, leaving the three» strongest 
plants in each hill. Keep surface 
soil loose, but do not disturb the 
plants while bearing. Keep the 
squash picked off as soon as 
ready for use—this prolongs the 
bearing period. 
One ounce of seed will plant 
2.') hills: 3 to 3 pounds will 
sow an acre.
