SQUASH ... For Summer and Winter 
Any good enriched soil is adapted to the 
growing of squash. The seed should not be 
sown in the spring until danger from frost is 
past and the ground is warm. Plant in hills 
(about 8 to 10 seeds to a hill) the early sorts 
4 to 6 feet apart, the late varieties 8 to 12 
feet. Thin out to three plants in the hill. 
Keep the earth about the plants loose and 
free from weeds. One ounce for 25 hills, 
3 to 4 lbs. per acre.
