THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1914 



Ctilture.— PumpMns 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

A Favorite Household Pumpkin 



This handsome and high-merit pumpkin, famed 

 as a pie-maker, is one of the most satisfactory that 

 I ever Introduced. It has given satisfaction to 

 many thousands of my customers. It is not only 

 a good thing for the kitchen, but on account of its 

 quality is an unsurpassed food for dairy cows. 



The flesh is very thick and fine grained, of a 

 beautiful golden yellow color, and in texture and 

 flavor peculiarly adapted for pie-making purposes. 



It is very prolific. As a winter keeper it is im- 

 excelled, as the pumpkins will remain in perfect 

 condition until late in the spring, 



I do not know of anything in the shape of a 

 pumpkin that will be found more satisfactory for 

 the family garden or farm use than Maule's 

 Yellow Sweet Potato Pie Pumpkin.
