Winter squash seed should be planted as soon as all 
danger of frost is past, so as to give the squash plenty 
of time to mature. Plant in hills 6 feet by 8 feet, 6 
seeds per hill. Thin seedlings to 3 plants per hill. 
Each year we have been growing more of our squash 
seed on our Eastern farms. This Eastern seed is 
better isolated and more carefully selected. The cost 
is considerably higher; however, we have found that 
our trade demands this high quality seed and gladly 
pays the difference in price. 
BUTTERNUT: 60 days. (Eastern Grown). A new 
late Summer or early Fall squash. Butternut fruits 
are 10to 12 inches long. The flesh is dry, yellow and 
makes excellent pies but is rather stringy and not as 
good as later varieties of Winter squash for baking. 
This past Summer we cooked immature Butternut 
squash as Summer Squash and found them to be very 
good, even better than the regular Summer squash.
