R.B. BUCHANAN SEED CQ 
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. 
Pumpkin Seed 
CULTURE—One pound will plant 40 to 50 hills; 6 pounds will plant one 
acre. Plant in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way, four seed to the hill. For 
a good crop the soil should be rich. Cultivate same as cucumbers or melons. 
Pumpkins should not be planted in the garden, as they will readily mix with 
squash, much to the detriment of same. Many pumpkins are raised between 
corn hills, where they should be planted about 15 feet apart. 
1 Oz. Pumpkin Seed Contains About 165 Seed.
