FALL AND WINTER SQUASH 
A packet of seed of winter varieties will plant 3 to 4 hills; an ounce 15 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. of seed per acre. 
All these squash except Uconn have large running vines and do best if given plenty of space. Plant in hills 6 to 8 feet apart each way. Work- 
ing well-rotted manure or fertilizer into the soil will greatly improve the crop. Plant in May or early June after danger of frost is past. For con- 
trol of bugs and vine borers, dust with ROTENONE or spray with NNOR—Rotenone Spray and Zerlate (see page 82).

Hubbard. Developed and grown by ourselves, this heavy-yielding 
strain is in a class by itself. It is the truest, most uniform stock grown, 
and is well known and liked by leading growers in New England and 
other sections where large squash are wanted. 
The fruit is attractive blue gray color, rough and rugged, and grows 
to enormous size. The shape is shown in the photograph above. The 
flesh is thick, of deep yellow color and of fine flavor and texture.

kind and one of the best of the smaller high quality squash which 
present day markets prefer. It is a good keeper in storage and also 
adapted for freezing. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 14 Lb. 95c; % Lb. $1.50.

able for stands and markets where orange squash are popular.
