SQUASH 
( Italian — Zacca) 
All types of Squashes prefer a rich, warm, well-drained but moist soil. They should not be planted in the 
open ground without protection until all danger of frost is over and the soil has become well warmed. However, 
if “Hotkaps” are used for protection, the planting may be done as early as the middle of April. The seed should 
be sown in hills and later thinned out, leaving two or three plants to each hill. With the Summer bush varieties 
the hills should be spaced 4 feet apart and the Winter varieties at least 10 feet apart in each direction. One 
ounce of the smaller seeded Summer sorts will sow about 40 hills and one ounce of the Winter varieties about 20 
hills.
