^Ma This is our fa- 
^Ii0« 000^ vorite of the Ca¬ 
shaw type of pumpkin for the 
South. Fine in appearance, 
being a distinct mottled green 
striped with white. Flesh is a 
rich yellow color; solid, fine 
grained and very thick. Sweet 
and most excellent for both 
pies and baking. Can be 
grown among the corn and 
makes heavier yields than the 
old Yellow Cashaw and is bet¬ 
ter for stock feeding. Packet,

should be grown more largely on every farm in the .Soulh. M.-iny 
sort-s-are splendid lor pies and baking; others in.-ike a wonderful feed 
for stock during the winter months. This is a neglected crop in the South now, but shoubl 
be more largely grown. I’umiikins are easily sold in the towns and cities when not wanted 
for use on the farm. Plant them on the farm in lh20—it will pay you. 
Fsually grown in corn-lields, but if grown as a sep.irate crop, seed should be 
wUllUitJ phinted in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way after weather and soil get warm. 
Hoe often till vines begin to run. Cut pumpkins trom vine .ifter the leaves die, leaving 3 
to -1 inches of stem attached, and store in dry place. Handle candtilly and avoid bruis¬ 
ing. Use one ounce of seed to 20 hills of most varieties; I! to -1 itounds per acre.
