pearance, being a distinct mot 
tied green striped with white.

solid, fine grained, very thick. 
Sweet and most excellent for 
both pies and baking. They are 
very hardy, bugs seldom bother¬

OUR RIGHT SEEDS 
MAKE BIG CROPS 
Pumpkins 
They ought to be grown largely on every farm In the South- 
Many sorts are splendid for pies and baking; others make a 
splendid feed forstock during the winter months. This is a 
_ neglected crop in the South now. but should be more largely 
grown. They are easily sold in the towns and cities when not wanted for use on the farm. 
Plant pumpkins on the farm in 1912—it will pay you. 
CULTURE —Usually grown in corn-fields, but if grown as a separate crop, seed should be 
planted in hills 3 to 10 feet apart each way after weather and soil get warm. Hoe often till vines 
begin to run. When leaves die cut the pumpkins from vine, leaving 3 to 4 inches of stem at¬ 
tached and store in a dry place. Handle carefully and avoid bruising. Use 1 ounce of seed to 
20 hills of most varieties; 3 to 4 pounds per acre. 
Japanese Pie Pumpkin 
A distinct Japanese variety, adapted to all 
p arts of the South. Our engraving shows the 
exact shape of this variety. It is very meaty 
and solid and in general appearance greatly 
resembles the Cashaw, but is earlier and 
usually larger. Meat is rather free from 
water and is easily cut ami dried if desired.
