SQUASH 
CULTURE.—Squash plants are very tender and sensitive 
to cold, and so planting must be delayed until settled warm 
weather. General methods of culture are same as for Cu¬ 
cumbers and Melons, but Squash is less particular as to soil. 
Summer varieties should be planted 4 to 6 feet apart each 
way, and Winter sorts 8 to 10. Three plants are sufficient 
for a hill.

TURNIP 
_ CULTURE.—For Summer use sow early in Spring in light,

variety, and cover 34 inch deep, or sow broadcast, but in 
either case be sure to have the ground rich and freshly 
stirred. Thin early and keep free from weeds, so that the 
young plants will not be checked in growth. For Fall and 
Winter use sow the seed from middle of June to the first of 
August and in the manner given for Spring sowing. In the 
field Turnips are often sown broadcast at the rate of 134 
pounds to the acre.
