Sow seed of winter squashes later than the summer vari- 
eties, planting in hills, 8 by 8 ft. each way, and using 6 to 
8 seeds to a hill. When plants are about 5 in. tall, thin to 
3 plants to a hill. Squash must remain on the vine until 
fully matured; gather them before frost, leaving part of the 
stem attached to the fruit. Handle carefully and avoid 
bruising. Keep in a moderately warm, dry place during the 
winter. Many of the varieties listed below make excellent 
“pumpkin” pie. A pkt. will plant 8 hills; 1 oz. 25 hills.
