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 tit 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. 
For stock feeding:, Pumpkins are as good as corn. For pies you know how good they are. PLANT SOME.
