COLE'S PUMPKIN SEED. 



PUMPKIN. 



Ger. Kurbis. Fr. Covrge. 



One ounce will plant about 15 hills. 



Principally used for agricultural purposes, but there 

 has been a great improvement in the varieties during 

 the past few years, and many sorts are fine table 

 varieties. They are easily grown and are profitable 

 for stock feeding. At time of corn planting scatter 

 a few seeds in every fourth or fifth hill, or for a 

 large crop plant in May, in good warm soil in hills 

 eight to ten feet apart each way, four plants to the 

 hill. Avoid planting near other vines as they will 

 hybridize. 



Thanksgiving Pumpkin 

 THANKSGIVING. Our illustration 



shows the distinct shape and the thickness of flesh 

 peculiar to this new Pumpkin. We have had spec- 

 imens to weigh fifty pounds, the flesh being in some 

 places six inches thick. On account of this extra 

 thickness of flesh the yield in pounds is double that 

 of other kinds. The flesh is orange in color, of fine 

 grain, sweet and has the delicious Pumpkin flavor 

 essential to the making of first-class Pumpkin pies. 

 The name "Thanksgiving" was suggc^tpd by the 

 almost universal custom of having Pumpkin pie at 

 the Thanksgiving dinner. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 

 cts., % lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.00. 



QUAKER PIE. This variety is of a 



creamy color both inside and out. The vines are 

 very hard and prolific, always yielding a certain 

 crop. It is early and keeps late. Its chief value 

 is for "Pumpkin Pies," being fine grained and 

 rich flavored. It has none of the coarse and stringy 

 character so comon to other varieties. One of the 

 very best keepers. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % 

 lb. 20 cts., lb. 75 cts. 



NANTUCKET SUGAR. The pumpkins 



grow somewhat irregular in shape. The color is a 

 very dark green. It has a hard shell and is one 

 of the very sweetest pumpkins in existence. When 

 cooked the flesh resembles the Hubbard Squash. 

 Very hardy, productive and keeps well through the 

 winter. Per pkt. 4 cts., oz. 8 cts., % lb. 20 cts., 

 lb. 60 cts. 



TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO. Grows 



to medium size, flesh thick, flne grained, dry and 

 brittle, and of most excellent flavor. Hardy, very 

 productive, and keeps perfectly sound until late 

 in the spring. Has no equal for making pies and 

 custards. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 8 cts., ^4 lb. 15 cts.,

Japanese Pie Pumpkin 



JAPANESE PIE. The illustration cor- 

 rectly shows the shape and extremely small seed 

 cavity— all the balance being solid meat through- 

 out, which is of extra fine quality. It is a very 

 productive variety, the pumpkins ripen early, of 

 medium size, good keepers, and weigh 15 to 20 

 pounds each. The flesh is a rich salmon color, vin- 

 usually fine grained, and when cooked or stewed 

 is almost as dry and mealy as a sweet potato. For 

 making pies, custards, etc., they certainly have no 

 equal. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 20 cts., 

 lb. 60 cts. 



INTER LUXURY. This pumpkin is pro- 

 nounced by hundreds the very best pumpkin for 

 pies they have ever known, it grows uniformly to 

 a diameter of ten to twelve inches, and is enorm- 

 ously productive. In color it is a beautiful golden 

 yellow, very finely and closely netted. As a win-
