PUMPKINS 



CULTUKE. — Pumpkins will grow almost anywhere, but rejoice in rich soil. In many 

 varieties the size and weight depend almost wholly on culture and fertility of the land. 

 Plant in hills 8x8 feet, or drop three or four seeds in every fourth hill in the coru field. 

 Put seed in ground in May or June. Use a packet to about 5 hills, an ounce for 25 hills; 

 three to four pounds, per acre; thin out to 2 or 3 plants to a hill. Ready to use in 65 to 

 100 days. For winteruse, gather before frost and store in a warm, dry place. Fight hues with Bug Death, Slug Shot, Bordo Leador Key-Clde.
