SQUASH

winter use, and being susceptible to cold it 
should not be planted until the ground is 
thoroughly warm. The bush sorts should be 
planted in hills 4 to 5 feet apart each way; 
the running varieties, 8 to 12 feet apart. Place 
8 to 10 seeds in a hill and thin out to about 
4 plants in a hill.
