CATALOGUE FOR THE SOUTH. 55 
PUMPKINS. 
FOR TABLE AND STOCK FEEDING. 
CULTURBE.—Usually grown in corn fields, but if grown as a separate crop, seed 
should be planted in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way after weather and soil get warm. 
Hoe often till vines begin to run. When leaves die cut the Pumpkins from vine, 
leaving 3 to 4 inches of stem attached, and store in a dry place. Handle carefully and 
avoid bruising. One quart to 300 hills; 4 pounds to the acre. They ought to be grown 
largely on every farm in the South. Many sorts are splendid for pies and baking; others 
make a splendid feed for stock during the Winter months. This is a neglected crop in 
the South now, but should be more largely grown. They are easily sold in the towns 
and cities when not wanted for use on the farm. Planted from March to June.
