SQUASH for Summer and Winter Use 
An ounce will plant from 10 to 25 hills. 
Squash seed should be planted at about the same time and in 
the same manner as cucumbers and melons. The hills should be 
9 feet apart each way, slightly elevated and highly manured. 
Bush varieties may be planted closer together. Use plenty of seed, 
as the bugs will destroy some plants.
