There are two types of squash-the
bush varieties, which may be planted, 5
and seeds to the hill. in hills or 5
feet apart each way, and the running
varieties which require considerably
more room for their development.
Squash may properly be grown in the
garden, as three or four hills will pro-
duce all that is required for the aver
age family. They require rather rich
soil, preferably one that is well mixed
with rotted manure.
Squash for summer use should be
planted as soon as the ground is thor
oughly warmed up, which will be about
one month after the last killing frost.
Such varieties as the Hubbard for fall
and winter use may be planted at any
time during the spring after the ground
is thoroughly warmed up and will grow
for the entire season. They should be
gathered in fall as soon as hard frosts
occur. They may be kept in storage
room in the basement, or in any cool
dry place. 1t is necessary to handle
them carefully to avoid bruising, or
rot is liable to occur.--U. S. Depart
