PUMPKIN.

hills 8 ft. apart each way, or in the corn field, using 3 or 4 seed with that of the corn in every fourth or fifth

POTATOES. 
Beauty of Hebron. 
The Cultivation of Potatoes. — Under the right climatic conditions any good fibrous soil will produce 
Potatoes, but a better quality will result from a production in a good sandy loam. Make furrows of good 
depth, about 3 ft. apart, apply a good dressing of commercial fertilizer or well-decayed stable manure to each 
drill ; cover this slightly and plant good-sized pieces of the potatoes, each containing two or three eyes. 1J ft. 
apart in the furrows. Then cover the seed to the depth of 2 in. Begin to cultivate when the plants are up, 
and at each hoeing thereafter bring additional soil about the plants. 
The following varieties of Potatoes, all of which are Maine grown, and true to name, are as free from
