Superior Seeds for Home and Market Gardeners

SQUASH 
CULTURE—Sow in the spring after all dan- 
ger of frost is over and also in the fall in 
time to mature a crop before frost. Light, 
warm soil is best. Plant bush varieties in 
hills 3 to 4 feet apart and vining varieties 
from 6 to 8 feet apart. Plant about six seeds 
to the hill and thin out to the three best 
plants. One ounce will plant about 40 hills 
of bush varieties and about 15 hills of vin- 
ing varieties. Three or four pounds is re- 
quired to the acre. 
For very early plantings protect them 
with Hotkaps.
