CHINESE GIANT (Natural Size) 



PUMPKIN 



{Cucurbita pepo) 



HISTORY — Botanists have placed its origin in Tropical America, although no wild forms have been located with a certainty. At the time of 

 the Discovery pumpkins and squash appear to have been grown by the Indians in their corn fields along the Atlantic Seacoast. The Island of 

 Nantucket had a very warty variety which gave rise to our common field pumpkin. During Revolutionary days in this country, a crude form 

 of syrup was obtained from pumpkin and used as a sugar substitute. See history of Squash.

 strain of it by Johnson & Stokes in 1893. This is the very best 

 quality pumpkin for pie purposes that is cultivated. The skin is 

 light yellow, comparatively smooth and covered with a very light 

 gray netting. The flesh is tender and has all the qualtities desired 

 for cooking purposes. These pumpkins will average between ten 

 and twelve inches in diameter and eight inches from top to bottom. 

 They will grow very uniform and their general field appearance 

 is most attractive. This variety is highly recommended for home
