PUMPKIN 



Ger. Ciirbis. Er. Courge. 

 One ounce iL'il/ plant about 15 lulls. 



Principally used for agricultural purposes, but 

 there has been a great improvement in the varieties 

 during the past few years and many sorts are fine 

 table varieties. They are ea-ily grown and are 

 pofitable for stock feeding'. At time of corn ])lant- 

 ing scatter a few seeds in every fouilh or fifth hill, 

 or for a large crop plant in ilay, in good warm soil 

 in hills eight to ten feet apart each way, four plants 

 to the hill. Avoid planting near other vines as they 

 will hybridize. 



QUAKER PIE. This variety is of a 



creamy color both in.side and out. The vines are 

 very hard and prolific, alwa^'s yielding a ceitain 

 crop. It is early and keeps late. Its chief value 

 is for "Pumpkin Pies," being fine grained and 

 rich flavored. It has none of the coar-e and stringy 

 character so common to otln r vaiieties. One of 

 the verv best keepers. Per pkt. G cts. , oz. 10 cts., 

 14 lb. 30 cts., lb. S].C>0. 



TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO. Grows 

 to medium .size, flesh tliick, fine giained, dry and 

 brittle, and of most excellent flavor. Hardy, very 

 productive, and keeps perfectly sound until lat»* 

 in the spring. Has no equal for making pi<'S and 

 castards. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 ct-., 14 lb. .30 

 cts., lb. SI. 00.

 shaped, in flavor like tlie Crockneck .Squash; yel- 

 low fleshed, fine grained and verj^ productive; 

 superior to most field varieties. Per pkt. 4 cts., 

 oz. 7 cts., 34 lb. 15 cts., lb. 50 cts., by expres.s, 5 

 lbs., $2.00, 10 lbs., $3.50.

shaw of "ye olden times," and Ls a great favorite 

 for its many good qualities. Of large size, often

 and of fine quality. Per pkt., 4 cts., oz. 8 cts., %

Havi7ig planted Coles garden seeds for 

 the last 22 years almost exclusively, I find 

 yottr seeds the most 7-eliable and pe7-fectly 

 adapted to he soil of southwest Nebraska.

Japanese Pie Pumpkin 



JAPANESE PIE. The illustration cor- 

 rectly shows the shape and extremely small seed 

 ca\ity — all the balance being solid meat through- 

 out, which is of extra fine quality. It is a very 

 f i fwiiKtive variety, the pumpkins ripen early, of 

 i ii 111 size, good keepers, and weigh 15 to 20 

 p un ls each. The flesh is a rich salmon color, un- 

 usuallj' fine grained, and when cooked or .stewed 

 is almost as dry and mealy as a sweet potato. For 

 making pies, custards, etc., they certainly have no 

 equal. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 30 cts., 



lb. SI -00. 



WINTER LUXURY. This pumpkin is pro- 

 nounced by hundreds the very l)est pumpkin for 

 pies they have ever known. It grows unifoiTnly to 

 a diameter of ten to twelve inches, and is enor- 

 mouslj' productive. In color it is a beautiful golden 

 yellow, very finel^^ and closelj' netted. As a win- 

 ter keeper and cooking variety it stands alone. Per

MAMMOTHS. It grows to an enorm- 

 ous size, three feet or more in diameter, and one 

 to two hundred poimds or more in weight. It has

I bought seeds last year from you and they 

 did splendid, t"^:2)ii{ the drouth into consid- 

 eratio?i. Ernest Staedeli, fefferson County, 

 Illinois. 



I used to get all my seeds from yoit, btit the 

 last two years haiie tried store seeds. More 

 than half the time they do not come up and 

 , are not true to na7ne. So have come back to 

 the ''Old Reliable' for our garde7i seeds and 

 they ca7i be depe7ided upon. F. A. Strahan,
