T his grand new Pumpkin, the seed of which was offered last season for the first time, is the result 
of many year’s selection from the old Golden Marrow or Michigan Mammoth Pumpkin. So care- 
fully has the selection been made, that the Big Toms will run uniformly to more than twice the 
the size and weight of the original parent stock. 
20 Uon4' per Acre 
were produced on the field from which the above 
photograph was taken. The size and shape of 
the pumpkins are well shown in the foreground 
of this picture.

on a farm, utilize every available corner. — A shilling’s worth of seed of Big Tom, planted in corners 
where burdocks or other weeds have been in the habit of growing, will give abundance of good pie or 
cattle food, and the rank growing vines will keep down unsightly weeds. Whole fields can of course 
be grown to advantage for canning or stock feeding, and prove a most profitable crop. 
Quality 
The skin and flesh are of a deep, rich orange 
color, of excellent flavor for pies, etc., cooking 
soft and tender. For table use and stock feed- 
ing, no more profitable or better variety can be 
grown. ,
