The Great Prize Pumpkin, King of tlie Mammotlis. 



This truly colossal variety first c:irae to our attention in 1884, wliile visiting Franco, where we secured seed, and dis- 

 tributed it among our customers. The results hive been astoiiisliiug. No other pumpkin ever introduced has i cached 

 such enormous weights, and been awarded as many prizes. In competition for our cash prizes in past seasons, hundreds 

 of our customers have raised specimens weighing «>ver one hundred and fifty pounds each, tlie heaviest ever grown 

 being two hundred and fifty pounds, in 1889. The heaviest weights attained since, and for which our first cash prizes were 

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

 and ninety-five pounds, in 1891, grown by H. S. Vetter, Stockholm, N. J.; one hundred and seventy-four and one-half pounds, 

 in 1892, grown by Carl Lenth, Farmersburg, Iowa; one hundred and tifty-one pounds, in 1893, grown by Oscar E. King, 

 Marengo, Wash. 



With one of these pumpkins you would be sure of a first prize at your county fair. Tlie flesh and skin of a bright 

 golden yellow color, very fine grained, of excellent quality, and notwith.standing its enonuous size, is one oi the very best 

 pie or table pumpkins ever grown, and a splendid keeper.
