 provement by a veteran pumpkin grower, and is pronounced 

 by hundreds of our customers the very best pumpkin for 

 pies that they have ever known. It grows round, uniformly 

 to a diameter of ten to twelve inches, and is enormously pro- 

 ductive. In color it is a beautiful golden yellow, very finely 

 and closely netted, like a netted niuskmelon, As a winter 

 keeper and cooking varietv it stands unequalled. Pkt.,5c.;

 early stages it is dark green, ripening to a warm rich yellow.
