WINTER SQUASH 
Winter Squash, particularly yellow fleshed varieties, is 
an excellent source of Vitamin A. Squash is also easily 
kept in dry storage. A family should have 50 pounds a 
year. We recommend 1 Y.G.B.P. of Summer Squash and 
2 V.G.B.P. of winter varieties. Plant in hills summer 
types about 4 feet apart, winter about 8 feet apart. One 
V.G.B.P. will plant 25 hills. 
The following five varieties of winter squash: 
Pkt., 5c; V.G.B.P., 10c; oz., 20c; ™%4 Ilb., 7Oc; % Ib., 
$1.20; 1 Ilb., $2.00, postpaid.
