PUMPKIN 
(German, Grosse-Kurbis; French, Potiron; Spanish, Calabazo) 
CULTURE—Pumpkins are not so particular in regard to soil as Melons or Cucumbers, but are cultivated much 
the same. Plant seed about 10 feet apart, in hills, dropping about 10 seed to a hill. When plants are well started, 
thin to 3 plants to each hill. To plant in corn place seed about every third or fourth hill after the last working. 
MARYLAND SWEET POTATO —This is without doubt the best for table use, resembling somewhat the Cushaw, 
but much prettier in color. A handsome green and white striped. Flesh yellow, solid, 
fine-grained and a delicious flavor. Pkt. 10c ; ox. 15c; A lb. 25c; lb. 75c. 
CUSHAW, or WINTER CROOKNECK —An old standard variety, which is very 
popular. It is also used for feeding stock. Long yellow crookneck, fine-grained, yellow 
flesh, very solid. Pkt. 10c; ox. 15c; A lb. 
25c; lb. 75c.

equaled. Is slightly oval in shape and of 
medium size. Evenly and finely netted,

is very tender, sweet arid rich golden in

RADISH 
(German, Radischen; French, Radis, Rave, Petite Rave; Spanish, Rabana) 
CULTURE—For open-ground culture sow on rich sandy soil as soon in the Spring as it is fit to work, in drills 12 
to 18 inches apart, and thin out the plants to prevent crowding. A good dressing of nitrate of soda will greatly stim¬ 
ulate growth and insure tender, brittle roots. Successional sowing from 1 week to 10 days apart will keep up a supply. 
After the hot weather of Summer begins, it is better to sow the Summer and Winter varieties, as they do not become 
tough and stringy not pithy so quickly as the earlier sorts. One ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill.
