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, Table Queen, and Royal Acorn should be classed as pumpkins but as they are commonly prepared 
and eaten like Winter squash, we list them together. These varieties are not as fine quality as the real Winter 
squashes. The best quality Winter squash is Seneca Buttercup while Green Delicious and Green Hubbard are 
the most popular for commercial growers. Blue Hubbard yields well but is too large for the average family. 
Rotenone dust will control the striped cucumber beetle. Write the New York State Experiment Station, 
Geneva, N. Y., for Circular 127 on Control of Squash Borer.
