* ©uLTURE.—Pumpkins will grow almost anywhere, but rejoice in rich soil. In many varieties the size and 
PUMPKINS weight depend almost wholly on culture and fertility of the land. Many pumpkins are exceptionally good 
® for pies; other sorts are fit only for feeding live stock. Plant in hills 8x8 feet. Use three to tour pounds of 
seed per acre; one-fourth pound for seventy-five hills. Put seed in ground in May or June. 
a : | ae Maule’s Yellow Sweet 
EE & =.</ Potato Pie Pumpkin. 
A Famous Household Favorite. 
This handsome and high-merit pumpkin, famed 
as a pie-maker, is one of the most satisfactory that 
I ever introduced. It has given satisfaction to 
many thousands of my customers. It is not only 
a good thing for the kitchen, but on account of its 
| quality is an unsurpassed food for dairy cows. 3 
The flesh is very thick and fine grained, of a 
beautiful golden yellow color, and in texture and 
flavor peculiarly adapted for pie-making purposes. 
It is very prolific, a single vine often producing 
.six or eight large pumpkins. Asa winter keeper 
it is unexcelled, as the pumpkins will remain in 
perfect condition until late in the spring. 
I do not know of anything in the shape of a 
pumpkin that will be found more satisfactory for 
the family garden or farm use than Maule’s 
Yellow Sweet Potato Pie Pumpkin; but, as its 
name indicates, it is especially adapted for house. 
hold purposes. It is sweet and delicate in flavor. 
Weighs ten or twelve pounds on the average, but 
easily running up to greater weight under good 
culture. Indeed, it can be made to assume mMam- 
moth proportions, if desired; and its fine grain 
and delicate flavor will remain unimpaired.
