| SQUASH & PUMPKINS
20-35 seeds per packet. Grow winter squash in very rich soil, amended with manure, compost, or other rich source of plant nutrients. Plant in rows, 5-8 feet in both directions, sowing one seed every 6-12 inches. Or plant in hills, 5 seeds per hill, with the hills 6-8 feet apart, thinning to best three plants. Full sun, ample moisture and insect control as necessary should allow good production from the vigorous plants. Harvest in autumn when skins are too tough to be easily punctured with a thumbnail.

Melonette Jaspee De Vendee
(C. pepo) A favorite of our grower, these golden-yellow, netted, round, 3-4 lb. fruit have some of the most delicious orange flesh in the squash family. Very sweet and rich, and the perfect size for two servings. The vines are incredibly productive and do well nearly everywhere. A historic variety from Vendee, in western France, a great keeper, and a favorite with chefs.
