COLE'S PUMPKIN SEED 



41 



PUMPKIN 



Ger. Curbis. Fr. Coiirge 



One ounce will plant about i§ 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 

 profitable for stock feeding. At time of corn 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 liills eight to ten feet apart each way, four plants 

 to the hill. Avoid planting near other vines as they 

 will hybridize. 



THANKSGIVING. Crop failed. 



QUAKER PIE. This variety is of a 



creamy color both inside and out. The vines are 

 very hard and prolific, always yielding a certain 

 crop. It is earlj' 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.,

TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO. Grows

 brittle, and of most excellent flavor. Hardy, very

 custards. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., lb. 35 cts.,

 the last 22 years almost exclusively, I find

 sideration. Ernest Stacdeli, fefferson Co.,

I used to get all my seeds from you, but the 

 last tii'O yca)-s have tried store seeds. More 

 than half the time they do not come up and 

 ai'c not true to ua)iic. So hvvc come back to 

 the "Old Reliable" for our gardcji seeds and 

 they can be depended on. F. ^i. St rah an,
