PUMPKINS 
Pumpkins may be planted in cornfields, using 
every third row and putting one seed in every 
other hill of corn, or, if corn is planted in drills, 
stick in a seed once in 6 feet along the row. 
When planted in open field, make hills 6 to 8 
feet apart, thinning out the plants when well 
started to three or four in each hill. They yield 
much better when planted alone. 1 oz. of seed to 
35 Hills, 4 lbs. to Acre.
