FALL AND WINTER SQUASH

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).

103 days. Harris’ favorite for many years, this 
squash is preferred for its extra thick meat of 
supreme quality. Its attractive heart shape 
means deeper flesh at the shoulders and the

sweeter and finer-flavored than most, very dry

sized (5 to 10 lbs.), just right for family use, 
and the healthy vines produce excellent crops.
