each hill. Plant 8 to 10 seed to the hill, about May 10th, for the summer varieties 4 to 6 feet apart, and the winter sorts 
8 to 10 feet, about July 1st. When well grown, thin out, leaving three of the strongest plants in each hill. 
Do not bruise 
or break the stems of the winter squashes when gathering. Plant summer sorts, 1 ounce to 25 hills; 3 to 4 pounds to an 
acre; winter sorts, ounce to 10 hills; 3 to 4 pounds to an acre.

cross produces a squash that is distinctly 
earlier than either parent. It is more 
productive and more uniform. The vine 
is bush type. Fruit medium yellow, straight
