King of the Mammoths Pumpkin 



This great prize pumpkin first came to our attention some 

 years ago, while visiting France, where we secured seed 

 and distributed it among our customers. The results have 

 been astonishing. No other pumpkin ever introduced has 

 reached such enormous weights, and been awarded as 

 many prizes. Hundreds of our customers have raised 

 specimens weighing over one hundred and fifty pounds 

 each, the heaviest ever grown being two hundred and forty 

 pounds. It frequently attains a diameter of over four feet. 

 The flesh and skin are golden yellow, and notwithstanding 

 Its ennrraous size, it makes a good table pampkin.
