IN ALL SHAPES AND 
SQUAS SIZES 
for Samnmenr aud Wiuter Use 
An ounce will plant from 10 to 25 hills. 
Squash seed should be planted at about the same time and in the same 
manner as cucumbers and melons. The hills should be 9 feet apart each way, 
slightly elevated and highly manured. Bush varieties may be planted closer 
together. Use plenty of seed, as the bugs will destroy some plants.
