PUMPKIN 



Wherever there is plenty of room between rows of corn or in 

 an open field, pumpkins should be planted. They are typically 

 American, and pumpkin pie is one of our truly American 

 dishes. Pumpkins are less sensitive to unfavorable conditions 

 of soil and weather than melons or cucumbers, but they are 

 cultivated in about the same way. 



CALIFORNIA FIELD Mostly used for stock feeding. The 

 pumpkin is variously colored, yellow, drab, red, and orange, 

 and varies also in size, but is usually very large. It is a 

 heavy cropper and matures early.

 South. The crook-necked pumpkins are 18 to 20 inches long,

 The flesh is light yellow, very thick, rather coarse but 

 sweet.
