Four Pounds of Seed Will Plant an Acre PUMPKIN 
Native of Tropical America 
Hills 8 x 8 if Planted in the Open 
The time for planting Pumpkin seed varies from the first Corn planting until about a month sub¬ 
sequent. Later than that a successful crop cannot be expected as this plant requires a long season. When 
grown with Corn every fourth hill of every fourth row may be planted in Pumpkin Seed and this should 
be done when the Corn is planted. During the working of the Corn, the Pumpkin plants will stand un¬ 
harmed, and after the corn cultivation ceases, the Pumpkin vines will extend over the field, almost covering 
it. Pumpkins are more of a field than a garden Vegetable.

crook-neck, not as shapely a neck as the 
Landreths’ Yellow Cashaw, many fruit being 
almost straight. Color creamy white, with 
regular stripes of green. Flesh light yellow 
and thick. Average weight about 12 pounds. 
Connecticut Field or Big Tom—110 Days 
A large, rich, smooth, orange yellow, slight 
oval or cylindrical fruit. Very productive, 
used extensively for canning. Popular for 
pies. Grown very largely in Com fields. 
Average weight about 20 pounds. 
Japanese Pie—145 Days 
Yellow fleshed, fine quality. Dark green skin.

crooked a neck. Color at maturity dark green, 
heavily russeted at stem-end, very productive. 
Average w r eight about 10 pounds. 
Kentucky Field—110 Days 
A poor selection of our famous Cheese Pumpkin. 
Many variations in shape. Some fruits very much 
like a round Watermelon, others as a nail keg. 
Color a light golden cream. Very variable in weight. 
LANDRETHS’ CHEESE—108 Days 
An excellent kitchen variety. Shape flat like a 
Cheese box, from which it derived its name. Out¬ 
side color lemon, no stripes, a fine keeper. Often 
15 inches across the top and 6 to 7 inches thick, 
top and bottom indented. We can say without 
hesitancy there is no stock in the market equal to 
the Cheese Pumpkin we are offering. Don’t con¬ 
fuse this stock with the Kentucky Field offered by 
many seedsmen as Cheese. Average weight 17 
pounds. 
Small Early Sugar or New England Pie—116 
Days 
This is a very fine, small, sweet, fine grained pro¬ 
ductive sort, of good keeping qualities. Fruit oval, 
or globular, flattened at both poles, 8 to 10 inches 
in diameter, slightly ribbed. Flesh a deep rich 
yellow or orange. Weight 6 to 8 pounds. 
Tennessee Sweet Potato—110 Days

white skin slightly mottled with green. Flesh 
creamy white of fine texture. Weight about 14 
pounds. 
Landreths’ Yellow Cashaw 
LANDRETHS’ YELLOW CASHAW—115 Days 
Our stock of this cannot be excelled by any. It is a 
mammoth Pumpkin, frequently weighing 30 pounds, 
with a very large, full, meaty, curved neck, with the 
best colored meat to make fine pies. Both outside 
and inside color very rich yellow cream. No stripes 
of any kind. So crookneck at times, to bend back 
so as to touch the body. 
Yellow Monster or King of the Mammoth—120 
Days 
This is the largest Pumpkin on the market today 
and in reality is a monster. For many years fruits 
of this sort have been awarded every prize in State 
and County Fairs for the largest Pumpkins. It is 
not only an exhibition sort but is a very profitable 
variety for raising for stock feeding. Bright lemon 
in color, mottled with orange. Round with a tracing 
of ribbing. Excellent flavor for table use. Weight 
60 to 100 pounds.
