 A fine crop of Sugar Pumpkins

 Radies, Ger. 



One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill. 

 CULTURE — One of the earliest delicacies to reach our table in the spring and one that may be enjoyed all seasons by a judicious 

 selection of varieties suitable for different seasons. In soil rich in humus, the little early round and olive-shaped sorts will be ready for use 

 in from 3 to 4 weeks. Earliest sowings may be made as soon as frost is out of the ground. After May 1st, sow long varieties like ^^^lite 



Icicle or Long Scarlet Short Top. After Jime 1st, select summer 

 \-arieties like Long A\"hite Vienna, or \\'hite Delicacj', and around 

 July 1st, sow the late but also large winter radishes for a fall and 

 winter supply. All radishes, to do their best, should be thinned 

 out to stand 2 to 6 inches apart in the row, the largest distance 

 given applying to the large growing winter varieties.
