PUMPKINS

Culture.— Pumpkins will grow almost anywhere, but rejoice in rich soil. In many varieties the size and weight depend almost wholly on 

 culture and fertility of the land. Many pumpkins are exceptionally good for pies ; other sorts are fit only for feeding live stock. Plant in hills 

 8x8 feet. Use one-fourth pound for seventy-five hills ; three to four pounds per acre. Put seed in ground in May or June. Fight bugs with Bug 

 Death, slug shot or air slacked lime.
