PUMPKINS. 



FOR TABLE AND STOCK FEEDING. 



CULTURE. — 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 quarts 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 crorj 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.
