hills 3 feet apart each way. Winter and Autumn Squash are 
trailing, or vining. Culture is the same as for pumpkins, as 
given on page 59, also see page 4 for preparation of the soil. 
Sow 8 ounces to 100 hills, 3 lbs. per acre, hills 5 to 8 feet 
apart each way. 
Use Marlate Insecticide for control of cucumber beetles. 
OUR SQUASH SEED 
Our fields are well separated to prevent cross-pollination, 
this being an important item in the growing of squash seed, 
as they will mix at a much greater distance than any other 
vegetable. No grower uses more care in the production of 
his stock.
