- SQUASH 
Summer, 2 oz. to 100 ft., 4 Ibs. per acre. 
Winter, 1 oz. to 100 ft., 2 Ibs. per acre. 
CULTURE—Squash plants are very tender and sensitive 
to cold, and planting must be delayed until warm weather. 
The general methods of culture are the same as those given 
for cucumbers and melons, but squash is less particular as 
to soil. The summer varieties should be planted 4 to 6 
feet apart each way, and winter sort 8 to 10. Three plants 
are sufficient for a hill. In gathering the winter sorts care 
should be taken not to bruise or break the stem from the 
squash as the slightest injury will increase the liability to 
decay. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 20c; %4 Ib. 60c. 
Summer Varieties—55 Days 
Table Queen, also Danish. In size, Table Queen equals a 
fair sized husked cocoanut, and a: half, baked, serves one 
person amply. This avoids the waste often resulting from 
the use of larger varieties. The shell is unusually thin 
and it does not require over 20 minutes for baking or 
boiling. A good way to prepare it is to cut in half, place 
a lump of putter on one half, top with the other and then 
bake whole. This squash is ready before the Hubbards and 
yet stores equally well. The color is dark green. 
Giant Summer Crookneck. Our strain of this popular squash 
produces fruit nearly double the size of the old standard 
“Crookneck.’’ The plants are healthy, husky and compact; 
they produce in quantity fruit that is heavily warted and 
true to type. The flesh is a rich golden yellow. 
Giant Straightneck. Similar to Crookneck, but long. 
Zucchini or Italian. The favorite Italian squash. It should 
be eaten when quite young, 4 to 6 inches long. It is a 
delicious summer variety; do not hesitate to plant it. It is 
very prolific. \
