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 golntoonePumpkit)
