Burrell's Choice Seeds, Rocky Ford, Colo. SQUASHES (One ounce of the early varieties will plant 50 hills. One ounce of late varieties 25 hills.) Culture.—The plants are very tender and sensitive to cold, and planting must be delayed until settled warm weather. The early bush and early summer crooked neck may be forced for early market by planting about two weeks before the last frost is expected in rich soil and covering each hill with a box one foot square, made of six-inch boards and covered with heavy muslin. Uncover the plants at all times except when there is danger of frost. As soon as danger of frost is over, the boxes should be entirely removed and stacked in a dry place. This same method will be found valuable in raising melons and cucumbers. The general principles of culture are the same as those given for melons and cucumbers, but the plants are less particular as to soil. The summer variety should be planted four feet apart each way, and the winter sorts eight feet. Three plants are sufficient for a hill. Care should be taken not to break the stems from the Squashes intended for winter use, as the slightest injury will increase the liability to decay. (If by mail, add 4c per half pound, 8c per pound, for postage.) Prices on all varieties of Sqashes are as follows, except where otherwise noted: Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 20c; lb., 60c.
