A & M Pumpkin 
^ _1|. Pumpkins delight in rich, sandy soil that is perpet- 
V^Ullure ually moist—the soil that retains moisture by the 
dry farming method, because pumpkins do not want too much 
water, and to flood them would destroy them, so when irri¬ 
gating make the furrows nearly as far from the hill as the 
tip of the vine, and when the vines intersect, run the water 
through the middle of the row. Plant the seeds every 8 or 
10 feet, allowing only one plant to remain. 1 lb. of seed plants 
an acre. 
This is the large pumpkin so well 
iVl&mmOlll ^lllg known locally. As many as 20 tons 
have been taken from one acre. It not infrequently attains 
a weight of 200 pounds. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) lb. 35c) (lb.

This excellent pumpkin ought 
^USnAW or ^rOOKnOCK ^e planted more largely. 
There is more pumpkin for its size because of the small seed 
cavity. It is excellent for pies, and yields enormously. (Pkt.

Estampes 
P f. __ A highly recommended variety for canning pur- 
ILSlaXnpca poses, for pie and for stock. The pumpkins are 
an attractive dark orange with deep red flesh of fine flavor. 
They are flat in shape with deep ridges and weigh up to 100 
lbs. each. (Pkt. 5c) VA lb. 50c) (lb. $1.50) postpaid. 
Kentucky Field or Large Cheese locally called 
Sweet Pumpkin, and is grown more than any other of its 
kind for stock, because'^ it is a good keeper, notwithstanding 
it has a soft shell. It is fleshy and very sweet; also good for 
pie and is largely used for canning. On one large ranch in 
the’ San Fernando Valley there was planted a large acreage 
to nearly all the popular varieties; this one was unaffected 
by the hot sun, and remained in perfect condition while other 
varieties w’ere sun-burned and decayed quickly. (Pkt. 6c) (!4

(The Jack-o’-Lantem)—This is the 
Connecticut r lelCl pumpkin planted largely for the 
Hallowe’en and Thanksgiving trade. Twenty tons to the acre 
is no unusual yield. If the land has been manured liberally a 
full crop can be grown among corn. It is a most excellent 
keeper, and will be sure wealth to all who grow and feed it 
liberally. (Pkt. 5c) VA lb. 35c) (lb. $1.00) postpaid. 
Sugar, or Boston Pie 
A. small handsome variety, and 
oUg£ir or DOStOn ric very popular. The skin is a 
deep orange yellow; flesh fine grained and sweet in taste. 
Famous in Boston as a pie pumpkin. It sells better on our 
local market than any other variety except the Jack o 
Lantern at Hallowe’en time. (Pkt. 5c) ('A lb. 45c) (lb. $1.25)

The seed of parsnips should be sown during the fall 
Vi^UHUrc and winter months in Southern California and 
similar climates. It requires about one ounce of seed to 
plant a 100 ft. row and about 5 lbs. per acre. Do not apply 
manure soon before planting, for it tends to make coarse roots 
of uneven shape. 
A & M Special Long White great improvement 
over the older strains. The roots grow to a good length but 
not too long and are of uniformly nice shape. The color is a 
pure snow white adding further to the attractive appearance 
of the roots. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) (>A lb. 35c) (lb. $1.00) postpaid. 
A & M Hollow Crown 
This variety is in general 
use for both table and stock 
feeding. The color is pure white, it is uniformly smooth and 
is of good texture and flavor. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) ('A lb. 35c)

Half I rknrr There is a great demand for this 
F icncn Flail 1-iUIlg Parsnip because it has all of the 
good qualities of other parsnips and only grows about one-half as 
long. It is easily harvested, is of good quality, being tender and 
crisp at all times. It is very desirable particularly for heavy 
soils and is a good home garden variety because it is easily dug.
