SQUASH 
IN ALL SHAPES AND 
SIZES 
for Summer aud Winter Use 
Squash seed should be planted at about the same time and in the same manner as cucumbers and melons. The hills 
should be 9 feet apart each way, slightly elevated and highly manured. Bush varieties may be planted closer together. 
Use plenty of seed, as the bugs will destroy some plants.
