We Are One of the Largest Growers of Pumpkin Seed 
PUMPKINS 
Plant 6 to 8 seeds to the hill, thin to one plant to the hill. 4 to 5 
pounds per acre. 
To Grow Pumpkins —Select a very fertile location and plant the 
hills eight feet apart each way, 6 to 8 seeds to the hill. Thin to one 
plant to the hill when the plants have 5 or 6 leaves. Cultivate often 
and keep free of weeds. Best results are obtained where grown 
alone. A good rule is Pumpkins for the pumpkin patch and Corn 
for the cornfield. Grow a good stand of pumpkins and don’t raise 
corn among the pumpkins. The pumpkins hinder the corn and the 
corn hinders the pumpkins. Dust with APHICIDEi No. 21 for the 
striped bugs and Aphicide No. 15 for the black squash bugs. See 
page 18.
