Culture. — 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. Many pumpkins are exceptionally good 

 for pies; other sorts are fit only for feeding live stock. Plant in hills 8x8 feet. Use three to four pounds of 

 one-fourth pound for seventy-five hills. Put seed in ground in May. 



Maule's Yellow Sweef 

 Potato Pie Pumpkin. 



A Famous Household Favorite. 



This handsome and high-merit pumpkin, famed 

 as a pie-maker, is one of the most satisfactory that 

 I ever introduced. It has given satisfaction to ' 

 many thousands of my customers. It is not only 

 a good thing for the kitchen, but on account of its 

 quality is an unsurpassed food for dairy cows. 



The flesh is very thick and fine grained, of a 

 beautiful golden yellow color, and in texture and 

 flavor peculiarly adapted for pie making purposes. 



It is very prolific, a single vine often producing 

 six or eight large pumpkins. Asa winter keeper 

 it is unexcelled, as the pumpkins will remain in 

 perfect condition until late in the spring. 



I do not know of anything in the shape of a 

 pumpkin that will be found more satisfactory for 

 the family garden or farm use than Maule's 

 Yellow Sweet Potato Pie Pumpkin; but, as its 

 name indicates, it is especially adapted for house- 

 hold purposes. It is sweet and delicate in flavor. 



Weighs ten or twelve pounds on the average, but 

 easily running up to greater weight under good 

 culture. Indeed, it can be made to assume mam- 

 moth proportions, if desired ; and its fine grain 

 and delicate flavor will remain unimpaired. 

 Pkt., 10c; oi., 20c; \i 11»., 50c; lb., $1.75. 



SUGAR PUMPKIN. — Also 

 called Sweet Pumpkin. This is 

 the pumpkin from which the cel- 

 ebrated Yankee pumpkin pie is 

 made. It Is small, being about 10 

 inches in diameter, but of best 

 character. It has a deep orange 

 yellow skin and fine grained flesh; 

 handsome and an excellent keep- 

 er. It is prolific and in every way 

 desirable. It cannot be excelled 

 as a table pumpkin. The aver- 

 age weight is about 5 pounds. A 

 sure cropper and excellent for 

 marketing, as it is of convenient 

 Size. Pitt., 5 eta.; oi., 10 cts.; 

 % lb., 25 cts.; lb., 75 cts.

 grew a Potiron pumpkin weighing 230 lbs. Packet, 10 cts.;

HUNDRED-WEIGHT.— The Great Premium Taker. A selected strain of my 

 Prize Potiron. Seed saved only from specimens weighing over 100 pounds. This 

 is the pumpkin to plant for show purposes, as it not infrequently attains a record 

 of 200 to 250 pounds. The flesh is fine-grained and sweet, and of a bright yellow 

 color, making it a high-quality table or pie pumpkin. The outside is a dark 

 salmon, decidedly handsome. Hundred-Weight invariably wins favorable 

 comment at fairs." It contains comparatively few seeds, and as I save only large 

 specimens the price is necessarily high. Packet, 15 cts.; 2 packets, 25 cts.
