The general methods of culture are the same as those given 
‘for cucumbers and melons, but squash is less particular as, 
to soil. The summer varieties should be planted 4 to 6 feet 
apart each way, and winter sort 8 to 10. Three plants are 
sufficient for a hill. In gathering the winter sorts care should 
be taken not to bruise or break the stem from the squash 
as the slightly injury will increase the liability to decay.
