Dreer's Reliable VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Pumpkin 



For Delicious Pies 

 One ounce for 25 hills. 



Potiron, Fr. 

 Zucca, Ital. 



Calabaza, Sp. 

 Grosser-Kuerhis, Ger. 



Pumpkins are highly valued particularly for pies but there are 

 many other ways of preparing them for table use. Sow the seed 

 in good rich soil in JNIaj- when the ground has warmed up and the 

 nights have lost their chill. Those who grow Corn will find that 

 they can grow two vegetables in one plot by sowing the Pumpkin 

 seed in every fourth hill of Corn which spaces them about ten 

 feet apart. Pumpkin varieties planted together will mix but there 

 is not much danger of their mixing w'ith Squashes or other vines.

Rhubarb 



Pie Plant 



Victoria Rliubarb 



Rhubarbe, Fr. 



Rabarbaro, Ital. 



Ruibarbo, Sp. 



Rhabarber, Ger. 



Rhubarb is highly 

 valued as an appetizing 

 and wholesome dish. It 

 is particularly desirable 

 because it supplies the 

 table with a tasty dish 

 early in the season when 

 there are few fresh vege- 

 tables available from 

 the garden. Sow the 

 seed in shallow drills one 

 foot apart and when of 

 suflicient size transplant 

 to stand four feet apart 

 in the row. Rhubarb 

 does best on a rich 

 mellow soil. 



832 Victoria. A 



superb variety. Has 

 large thick red stalks 

 of most delicious 

 flavor. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 25c; i lb. 60c.
