Fall and Winter SQUASH 
All, except the Banana squashes, produce hard-shelled fruits 
which may be stored for use during the winter. Valuable for baking, 
boiling, making pies, etc. Many of the varieties here listed make 
excellent “‘pumpkin’”’ pie and some are canned extensively for that 
purpose. Unlike summer squashes, fruits of the fall and winter va- 
rieties, except Banana, must remain on the vine until fully matured; 
gather them before frost, leaving part of the stem attached to the 
fruit. Handle carefully and avoid bruising. Easily stored in any 
dry place. Keep best 
for a week or two after which it should be held at 45 
if temperature of 70 to 75°F. is maintained

How to Grow Squash 
Summer Squash. Sow seed after all 
danger of frost has passed. Put 5 seeds in 
groups, allowing 2 to 3 in. between the 
seeds and spacing the groups of bush 
varieties 4 ft. apart each way and those 
of the running kinds either 8 by 8 ft. or 
10 by 12 ft. apart. Thin bush varieties so 
that 3 or 4 of the strongest plants remain 
in a group; running varieties allow 2 or 3 
plants to a group. A pkt. will plant 8 to 
10 groups; an oz. 30 to 40 groups. 
Winter Squash. Sow seed in the same 
way as given above for the running vari- 
eties of summer squash; 4 seeds in a 
group is sufficient. A pkt. will plant 6 to8 
groups; 1 oz. 20 to 30 groups. All varieties 
of squash grow best in a fertile, deep soil.
