Culture— Pumpkins will grow almost anywhere, but rejoice in ricli soil. In many varieties 
the size and weight depend almost wholly on culture and fertility of the land. Many 
pumpliins 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. 
For stock feeding. Pumpkins are as good as euro. For pies you know how good tney are.
