SQUASH 
HOW TO GROW SQUASH.—Plant 8 to 10 seeds in each hill and have hills of bush varieties 
3 to 4 feet apart and vining late sorts 6 to 8 feet apart each way. After danger of bugs is over, thin 
out all but four of the best plants. Before planting seeds, work manure in each hill. Dust with Slug- 
Shot to kill the Squash-bug. Squash can also be grown like pumpkins in the cornfields at the same time you plant the corn, in 
every fourth hill. One ounce wil! plant 25 hills; 4 pounds to the acre.
