apart each way. Winter and Autumn Squash are trailing, or 
vining. Culture is the same as for pumpkins, as given on page 
64, also see page 3 for preparation of the soil. Sow 8 ounces to 
100 hills, 3 lbs. per acre, hills 5 to 8 feet apart each way. 
OUR SQUASH SEED 
Our fields are well separated to prevent cross-pollination, 
this being an important item in the growing of squash seed, 
as they will mix at a much greater distance than any other 
vegetable. Market growers will find our squash true to type 
and uniform. No grower uses more ecare in the production of 
his stock. 
Dwarf Yellow Summer Crookneck and Ey. Prolific Straight- 
neck are favorite shippers; Early White Bush is a nice, bright 
green when young, turning to pure white when mature. Of 
Italian varieties, the East and South prefer Cocozelle while 
California planters use the Zucchini. 
Use Marlate Insecticide for control of cucumber beetles.
