PUMPKINS.-iR«v6i. 



1 oz. to 15 hills; 4 per acre, in hiUs ten by ten feet apart. 



Pumpkins are grown largely both for cooking and for 

 stock feeding. They are frequently planted in corn fields, 

 seed being planted in hills with the corn when hoeing the 

 latter, and vines allowed to run when the corn is laid by. 

 To allow ample room in which to grow, seed should be 

 planted only in everv" fourth hill and every fourth row, or 

 even farther apart for the very strong-growing sorts. They 

 are grown also as a second crop on land after earlj' peas, 

 ■etc. Thev' are distinct from the Winter squashes in having 

 a thinner and more tender skin. They are more easily pre- 

 pared for use, as a rule have lighter colored flesh, and do 

 not keep so long as the hard-shelled varieties of squashes. 

 Where grown as a separate crop, seed should be planted in 

 hills eight feet or more apart each way, when the weather 

 has become warm and the trees are out in full leaf. Hoe 

 frequently until well started, but do not disturb the vines 

 after they have well started to run. When leaves have been 

 cut down by early frosts the pumpkins should be gathered 

 and stored in a warm, dry place, which is out of danger of 

 freezing, but well ventilated. Cut them from the vine with 

 a portion of stem attached, and handle carefully to avoid 

 bruising; if bruised, they will not keep for an}- length of 

 time.
