Culture— Sow in good soil in 

 May when the ground has become 

 warm, in hills 10 feet apart each 

 way, or in fields of corn about 

 every fourth hill; plant at the 

 same time as the corn. Pumpkin 

 varieties if planted together will 

 mix. There is not much danger 

 of their mixing with Squashes or 

 other vines.
