A packet of seed of winter varieties will plant 3 to 4 hills; 
an ounce 15 hills; 3 to 4 Ibs. 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 the new GARDEN DUST, or spray with NNOR—Rotenone Spray and ZERLATE (see page 82).

Buttercup—Small, high-quality squash.

and the healthy vines produce excellent crops.
