Squash 
Due to the different 
characteristics and habits 
of growth, there are two 
kinds of squash, gener- 
ally known as Summer 
and Winter squashes. 
The culture is’ similar 
to that of pumpkins 
and melons. Trailing 
varieties take about as 
much room as pumpkins 
and bush varieties take 
about the same as cu- 
cumbers.

don’t sow before March 15th; transplant 
once before setting out, after danger of 
frost is past (preferably under ‘“Hot- 
paks’’), 36” apart each way. Prune vines 
to 2 stems and train to stakes for larger
