 MAULE'S PRIZE POTIRON PUMPKIN. 

 Immense proportions when given rich soil and -extra cultivation, 

 for, whereas in the former year 190 lbs. was the weight 

 of the premium pumpkin, in 1886 it weighed 24834 lbs. 

 lbs. Last year L. B. Case, Henderson ville, N. C , se- 

 cured the prize with a 222 pounder. It is one of the 

 varieties sure to carry oft' all the honors wherever 

 exhibited. It has salmon-colored skin; flesh 

 bright yellow, fine grained, and of excel- 

 lent quality. Put in a few hills of 

 Potiron this year and see just 

 how large you can grow a 

 Pumpkin. I am confident 

 you will surprise yourself.

 MAMMOTH CHILI 



SQUASH I think I can justly IB 



claim to have the best strain of [f 

 this squash in the market, cer- 

 tainly there is no better. The outer 

 color is a rich orange-yellow ; flesh 

 is very thick and of a rich yellow 

 color ; quality good, and very nu- 

 tritious. They are most profitable 

 to grow for stock feeding, particu- 

 larly when root crops are not largely 

 grown. They keep well throughout 

 the entire winter and spring. It is very 

 productive. In 1883 Mr. Hewitt, of Nova 

 Scotia,, exhibited a Mammoth Squash at 

 the Dominion Exhibition, weighing 292 lbs. 

 Pkt, 10 c; oz., 30 c; 34 lb., 90 c. ; lb., $2.70.
