SUMMER SQUASH 
A packet will plant 6 to 8 hills; an ounce 30 hills or about 100 ft. of row. Use 5 or 6 Ibs. per acre. 
These squash are borne on dwarf bush vines which do not produce 
runners. They should be planted in hills 3 to 4 feet apart each way. 
Summer squash is easy to grow and will produce enormous crops all 
summer if the fruit are kept picked off as soon as they are ready to use. 
More fruit come on and you can have a continuous supply right up until 
frost. All types of summer squash, cocozelle, etc., are much better to eat 
if they are used when they are still young and tender. 
785 EARLY YELLOW PROLIFIC. An ideal small summer 
squash of beautiful ap-

shape, so that every one is just as fine looking as the next. The skin 
has a clear bright waxy appearance that is exceptionally attractive 
and the quality is unsurpassed. There is no green color even in the 
very young fruit. These fine squash are borne on compact bush plants 
that grow upright and take up little space in the garden. A few plants 
will produce an abundance of delicious squash for the family. For 
market this is also one of the best and most profitable kinds as it yields 
very heavily and the fruit often bring premium prices.
