MAMMOTH POTfROX PrMPKJX. 



JAPANESE PIE PllMPRl^. 



The illustration correctly shows the shape and 

 extremely small seed cavity— all the balance being 

 solid meat throughout, which is of extra fine quality. 

 The seeds are distinct in appearance/being curiously 

 sculptured in the manner of Chinese letters. It is a 

 verv productive variety, the pumpkins ripen early, 

 of medium size, good keepers and weigh 15 to 20 lbs. 

 each. One enthusiastic grower says: "No other 

 pumpkin or squash that has ever been introduced' 

 can vie with the Japanese for their excellent qual- 

 ities and exceedingly fine flavor when cooked. The flesh 

 is a rich salmon color, unusually fine grained, and 

 when cooked or stewed, is almost as dry and mealy 

 as a sweet potato. For making pies, custards, etc.. 

 thev certainly have no equal. Containing but little 

 water, they can easily be cut and dried, like dried 

 apples, and make elegant pies or sauce for Winter 

 use

New pie piJmpKiN, ' calhoUn." 



This new variety of Pie Pumpkin is one of the most desirable a"quisitions that we have had in 

 years. In size it runs from medium to small. It is of extraordinary weight and solidity, and of a 

 quality and productiveness that we have never seen equaled. The originator. Mr. Calhoun, has 

 sold this variety to a limited extent in hi« local market in the past few years, and their superiority 

 was so well known that no other pumpkins could be sold while his were to be had. This variety is 

 entirely fixed in its character, every specimen being uniform. The outside is of a pale yellowish 

 brown color, the inside being a dark, rich salmon or orange color. 



Per pkt., 7 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; K lb., 50 cts.
