CULTURE —One pound will plant 40 to 50 hills ; 5 pounds will plant 1 acre. 
Plant in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way ; 4 seed to the hill. For a good 
crop the soil should be rich. Cultivate same as cucumbers or melons. Pump¬ 
kins 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.
