Tliis truly colossal variety first came to our attention in 1884, while visiting France, where we secured seed, and dis- 

 tributed it among our customers. Tlie results h-ive been astouishiiig. No otlier pumpkin ever introduced has reached 

 such enormous ^veights, and been awarded as many prizes. ] n competition for our cash prizes in past sea,sons. liundrcds 

 of our customers liave raised specimens weigliing over one hundred and fifty pounds each, the lieaviest ever grown 

 being two liundred and fifty pounds, in 1889. Tlie heaviest weiglits attained since, and for wliicli our first cash prizes were 

 awarded, are ns follows : One hundred and ninety-six pounds, in 1890, grown by J. C. Confer, Jolinstown, Pa.; one hundred 

 and ninety-five pounds, in 1891, grown by H. S. Vetter, Stockliolm, N. J.; one liundred and seventy-four and one-lialf pounds,
