COLE'S PUMPKIN SEED 



41 



PUMPKIN 



Ger. Cicrbis. Fr. Coiirge. 

 One ounce -will plant about 15 hills, 



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 easily grown and are 

 pofitable fof stock feeding. At time of com plant- 

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

 or for a large crop plant in May, 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. 



THANKSGIVING. See novelties. 



QUAKER PIE. This variety is of a 



creamy color both inside and out. The vines are 

 very hard and prolific, always j'ielding a certain 

 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 coarse and stringy 

 character so common to other varieties. One of 

 the very best keepers. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 

 lb. 25 cts., lb. 75c. 



TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO. Grows 



to medium size, flesh thick, fine grained, dry and 

 brittle, and of most excellent flavor. Hardy, very 

 productive, and keeps perfectly sound until late 

 in the spring. Has no equal for making pies and 

 custards. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 25 

 cts., lb. 75 c. 



LARGE CHEESE or SWEET. Cheese- 

 shaped, in flavor like the Crockneck Squash; yel- 

 low fieshed, fine grained and very productive;

Having planted Coles garden seeds fo7' 

 the last 22 years almost exclusively, I find 

 your seeds the most reliable and perfectly 

 adapted to the soil of southwest Nebraska.

Japanese Pie Pumpkin 



JAPANESE PIE. The illustration cor- 

 rectly shows the shape and extremely small seed 

 cavity— all the balance being solid meat through- 

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

 productive variety, the pumpkins ripen early, of 

 medium size, good keepers, and weigh 15 to 20 

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

 usually fine grained, and when cooked or stewed 

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

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

 equal. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., ^4 lb. 30 cts., 

 lb. $1.00. 



WINTER LUXURY. This pumpkin is pro- 

 nounced by hundreds the very best pumpkin for 

 pies they have ever known. It grows uniformly to 

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

 mously productive. In color it is a beautiful golden 

 yellow, very finely and closely netted. As a win- 

 ter keeper and cooking variety it stands alone. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 20 cts., lb. 75 cts. 



MAMMOTH POTIRON op KING OF THE 

 MAMMOTHS. It grows to an enorm- 

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

 grained and of good quality. It has attracted a 

 great deal of attention, and is a fine variety to 

 exhibit at county fairs, etc. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 10 cts., 1/4 lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.00.

 did splendid, taking the drouth into consid- 

 eration. Ernest Staedeh, fejferson Cotinty.

I used to get all my seeds fro7?i you, but the 

 last two years have tried store seeds. More 

 than half the time they do not cojiie up and 

 are not true to name. So have come back to 

 the ''Old Reliable' for our garden seeds and 

 they can be depetided upon. F. A. Strahan,
