How to Grow 
Sow seed of winter squashes in the same 
way as given on the opposite page for running 
varieties of summer squashes. The winter 
squashes 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 mod- 
erately warm, dry place during the winter. 
Many of the varieties here listed make excel- 
lent ‘‘pumpkin’’ pie, some are canned ex- 
tensively for that purpose. A pkt. will plant 
8 groups; 1 oz. 30 groups or so-caiied “‘hills.”’
