SQUASH 
Squash grows best in a fertile, deep soil. The bush varieties are grown in rows or in hills spaced 
4 by 4feet. The running sorts are spaced either 8 by 8 or 10 by 12 feet. Sow the seed after all danger - 
of frost has passed. One ounce suffices for about 25 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. are needed per acre. 
YANKEE HYBRID SQUASH. (All-America Winner). To get this won- 
derful Squash two parent strains were bred —a true first generation 
hybrid made by controlled crossing of inbred Connecticut Straight- 
neck and Early Prolific. This cross produces a Squash that is dis- 
tinctly earlier than either parent, is more productive and is more 
uniform. Fine for bush type. Fruit medium yellow, straight and 
very slightly warted. You, a market gardener, know what it means 
to have Squash on the market ahead of your neighbors. Bred by 
Prot. L. C. Curtis, of Connecticut Experiment Station.
