PUMPKir^S 



Clilture. — Plant in hills, 10 to 12 feet apart each way, four seeds in a hill; or for garden planting, in hills 6 feet apart. Do not 

 plant Pumpkins near muskmelons, watermelons or squash, as there is danger of their mixing.

Standard Pie 



(Winter Luxury) 



The very best-quality Pumpkin for pie purposes that we know of. 

 The flesh is tender and has all the qualities which go toward making a 

 good variety for that purpose. The color is a beautiful, light golden 

 yellow, finely netted on the outside. This Pumpkin will average from 

 12 to 14 inches in diameter and about 8 to 10 inches from top to bottom. 

 They will grow comparatively uniform in size and shape, making a beau- 

 tiful sight in the field. This variety is recommended for either large or 

 small plantings. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 "cts., Vilb. 30 cts., lb. $1.

King of the Mammoths 



Stokes' Pumpkins make happy faces! 



THE BEST VARIETY FOR EXHIBITION PURPOSES OR FOR 

 GENERAL USE WHERE IMMENSE SIZE COUNTS 



They will very often grow from 2 to 3 feet in diameter, with a weight 

 of nearly 200 pounds. They are rounded in shape and flat at the top 

 and bottom. The skin is a light salmon-orange, very thick, and the flesh 

 is a bright yellow which is fine-grained and very good quality for pies 

 but not, however, considered quite as satisfactory as the Standard Pie. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., V4lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25, 



Big Tom 



Strictly a canning variety and not one which is advised for home consumption, as its quality is not tender. It is a strong, vig- 

 orous grower and very prolific, the fruits averaging 15 to 20 inches in diameter. It is round-oval in shape and the skin is a reddish 

 orange in color, slightly ribbed. The flesh is a rich orange-yellow, very solid and fine-grained. It is a very profitable sort for com- 

 mercial purposes. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V^lb. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts. 



Cushaw, or Crool<necl< 



A standard variety of Pumpkin, having a bright, shiny yellow 

 surface. The flesh is very solid, tender, fine-grained and of 

 superb flavor. It has a very small interior cavity. The Cushaw 

 average about 2 feet in length and will vary somewhat in 



shape. The flesh is very sweet and is excellent for pies. 

 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 141b. 25 cts., lb. 80 cts. 



Pkt. 



Large Sweet Cheese 



A variety particularly adapted to southern planting, but not 

 recommended for latitudes north of New Jersey. The fruits are 

 large, round and flattened in shape, having a cream-colored 

 surface mottled with green until fully ripe. The flesh is yellow, 

 tender and of superb qualitv. Large Sweet Cheese is an excellent 

 keeper. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts. 



RHUBARB 



Rhubarb is proving to be a very profitable crop for a great many market-gardeners. So far as variety is concerned we feel that 

 this vegetable comes under the same category as asparagus; for, as in asparagus, we believe it is entirely a matter of the strain used 

 and not that of the variety. Victoria is a very common name. We are, at present, growing at Windermoor both roots and seed, all 

 of a specially selected strain and we off"er them with every confidence that they will bring the very best results either for outdoor 

 planting or for winter forcing, in which case roots should be frozen once or twice, either artificially in cold storage or under natural 

 conditions and then placed in a damp cellar, covering them with earth and watering frequently. For outdoor sowing Rhubarb should 

 be sown in a shallow drill, one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row, and later thin to 10 to 12 in the row and keep well cultivated. Stalks 

 should not be cut until the plants have had a full season's growth. The use of roots, however, will very often produce strong, better- 

 yielding stalks the following spring than seed, for it is better to allow stalks grown from seed an extra year of gro\rth before cutting. 



Seed. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., V^lb. 40 cts., lb. $1.25.
