CULTU RE— Pumpkins may be planted in the middle of spring among corn or in the field or garden in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way, fonr needs ia 
a liill. In all other respects th^^ 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.
