BUCKBEE'S KING OF THE MAMMOTHS 



Wonderfully grand and colossal variety, astonishing everyone 

 by its mammoth size and heavy weight. Think of it — a single Pump- 

 kin weighing 469 pounds! Many of my customers saw this specimen 

 on exhibition at the World's Fair. King of the Mammoths is always 

 a prize winner at fairs and exhibitions. Notwithstanding its enor- 

 mous size, it is one of the best pie and table varieties grown. A splen- 

 did keeper, and exceptionally valuable for feeding purposes. I con- 

 trol the complete stock of this variety. Send to Buckbee for true 

 stock seed. I do not save seed from specimens weighing less than 

 200 pounds.

HOW TO GROW MAMMOTH PUMPKINS 



Plant in rich soil three to four seeds in a hill; make hills twelve 

 to fifteen feet apart each way. When the plants have a fair start 

 cut weakest so as to leave one or two of the strongest plants in each 

 hill. As the vines develop and flower and small Pumpkins come in 

 turn, remove all but one of the best young Pumpkins on each vine. 

 By doing this the full strength of each vine will go into one Pumpkin, 

 and produce a large specimen, while if you let five or six Pumpkins 

 develop to each vine the nourishment of the vine would be distrib- 

 uted among several Pumpkins, and the size would not be as great. 

 Mulch hill in which the vines are growing, and anyone having milk 

 to spare will be repaid by its liberal use occasionally in watering 

 each hill with it. Whan the Pumpkins are ripe and have made their 

 growth, remove them from the vines, leaving about three or four 

 inches of the stem attached so as to prevent any danger of rot. 

 store in a cool, dark place until you are ready to use them.
