CULTURE. Prepare hills 8 or 10 feet apart each way by working in 
thoroughly rotted manure, or poultry droppings—rich ground gives the 
plants a good start before insects attack them. When the ground is warm 
plant 6 or 8 seeds to the hills, covering an inch deep and, when well up, 
thin out, leaving three strong plants to each hill. 
pumpkins and gourds.
