in the same way as snap beans. The pods of Melting Sugiir 



are very large, four to four and one-half inches long, 



broad, often curved or twisted, and when young, string- 

 less, very tender and finely flavored. The variety we 



offer, sometimes called JIammoth Melting Sugar, is rather 



late maturing, very prolific, strong growing, about four 



to five feet high, with large light colored foliage. Seed 



medium to large, smooth, round, light yellowish white 



in color. Pkt. 10c; Lb. 40c: 2 Lbs. 70c. postpaid; 100

^^W TX^ >r r> T<^TTVT Pumpkins are less sensitive than melons or cucumbers to unfavorable conditions of soil

 ^ ^"^ *w^^ ^^^A ■* hills of corn or in fields by themselves, but more properly belong to the farm than the 

 garden as they readily mix with and injure the quality of the finer squash. After danger of frost is over plant the seed in 

 hills eight to ten feet apart each way, dropping about a dozen seeds in a hill. The soil should be made as rich as possible. 

 If planted with corn two or three seeds a rod apart each way will be sufficient. When danger from bugs is past, thin 

 to three plants to a hill.
