SQUASH 
Pkt., 5c. .2.-L-Ounce, 15e.... 4, Pound.o0G 
Planting Instructions The vining or winter squashes require a lot 
of room but the bush or summer squashes 
can be grown in any moderate garden. The summer or bush squashes 
should be planted in hills from 4 to 5 feet apart and the winter or vining 
kinds in hills from 6 to 10 feet apart. Squashes are heavy feeders and it 
is therefore beneficial to put two or three forkfuls of manure in each hill. 
Plant from ten to twelve seeds in each hill, but when the plants are of 
fair size thin them down to three plants in the hill.
