r|||f||MA Pumpkins may be planted in tfae middle of Spring among Corn or in the field or garden in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way, fouf 
,III IhI %♦ seeds in a hill. In all other respects they are given the same cultivation as Melons and Cucumbers, but care should be taken to 
^ avoid planting them near other vines. In growing the French Prize, make the ground as rich as possible and top dress the 
hill with well rotted manure, and if possible give the plants plenty of water during the dry season. This will assist in the growth greatly.
