SQUASH 
CULTURE: A good rich, well-manured, moist soil 
produces the best squash. Planting can be made 
early in the Spring after the ground has warmed 
up. The vine types or Winter squash should be 
planted in hills 6 or 8 feet apart each way; the bush 
or Summer types can be set out in 3 foot rows, 4 
feet apart in the row. Insect control is important if 
good crops are expected. Frequent inspection and 
dusting is necessary.
