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 a rather richer soil, preferably one that is well mixed with rotted manure. Squash for summer use should be planted as soon as the ground is thor euglliy 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 groun, is thoroughly warmed up and viii grow for the entire season They should be gathered in fall, as soon as hard frosts occur They may be kept in a storage room in the basement, or in any cool dry place.
