PEPPERS—Continued. 
Pimiento. The fruits of this very productive sort are 
exceptionally smooth and glossy, of good size, me¬ 
dium length, and attractive color. The flesh is very 
thick and solid, mild and of very fine flavor. De¬ 
sirable not only for salads and stuffed Peppers but it 
is also the sort used largely by canners. The plants 
are vigorous and upright, about 2 to 2/2 feet high, 
with short, broad, dark green leaves. The fruits are 
deep green when young, becoming deep red as they 
mature. 
Sugar or Pie 
Pumpkin. 
TV ^ One ounce will plant 
1 UmpKlIlS ^out 50 hills 
Plant the seed in April or May, in hills 6 by 6 feet 
or more, in the garden, using nine or ten seeds to a 
hill and thinning to the best three when the plants 
are well up. Pumpkins may also be grown among the 
hills of corn, when the seeds should be planted 9 or 
more feet apart each way. 
Connecticut Field. One of the best for field planting, 
being largely grown for stock feeding. Seed about 
same as that of Small Sugar but cleaner. 
Green Striped Cushaw. The rich yellow, close-grained, 
sweet, tender flesh of this variety has made it a great 
favorite. The skin is striped with mottled green bands 
of creamy white. Seed white, velvety, wrinkled. 
Large Cheese (Kentucky Field). This variety is par¬ 
ticularly prized for the home garden because of its 
thick, fine flavored flesh and good keeping qualities. 
It is a large, round, flattened sort with creamy buff 
skin and averages about 2 feet in diameter. Small 
seed, hard to clean. 
King of the Mammoths. The popular exhibition Pump¬ 
kin that usually is the prize-winner at the fairs. It is 
not unusual for a specimen to weigh 60 pounds. 
The skin is salmon-orange, with very thick, bright 
yellow flesh which is fine grained, tender and of fine 
quality. To secure the largest fruits, only one vine 
should be grown to a hill, allowing but one fruit to 
mature on a vine. Seed large, white. 
Small Sugar (New England Pie). One of the best 
pie Pumpkins. The fruits are but 10 inches in diam¬ 
eter, but what they lack in size they more than make 
up in quality. Flattened and slightly ribbed, with 
sweet, deep orange-yellow flesh. An excellent keep¬ 
er. Seed white, velvety, mealy, medium size. 
Radishes 
One ounce will sow about 100 feet of row. 
Radishes like a soil that is open, warm, and quick. 
All Radish seed is dark yellowish brown with a purple 
cast, semi-round, resembling small pebbles, and averag¬ 
ing 1/32 to 1/8 inch in diameter. Sow seed of the 
early round or olive-shaped varieties as early in spring 
as the ground can be worked, one-half inch deep, in 
rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Seed should be sown thinly, 
and if plants come up closer than one inch, they must 
be thinned out. Sow at intervals for succession until 
about the middle of May when the long sorts should 
be sown; about July 1st, the winter varieties. 
Round Varieties 
Crimson Giant. This variety grows twice the size of 
the other round sorts and still remains solid. It often 
reaches a diameter of two inches without losing its 
juiciness or becoming pithy. The roots are round to 
oval in shape and crimson in color, with mild, tender 
flesh. It may be used for forcing or early spring 
planting. 
Early Scarlet Turnip. Largely used for open-ground 
planting. It is a quick grower of round form, and 
has mild, crisp flesh. A very early sort. 
French Breakfast. A desirable variety for forcing and 
early planting outdoors. It is of oblong shape, bright 
pink above and white below, with mild, tender flesh. 
Vick’s Scarlet Globe. Good variety for forcing or sow¬ 
ing outdoors. The Radishes are of an attractive scar¬ 
let color, with sweet flesh that does not soon become 
pithy. A very early sort. 
Scarlet Turnip White-Tipped. Very popular market 
sort because of its attractive appearance. The Rad¬ 
ishes are very deep scarlet in color, with white tip. 
Flesh white and of fine quality. A great favorite for 
early planting outdoors. 
Cooper’s Sparkler, White-Tipped. A comparatively new 
variety. Globular in shape; rosy carmine, with white 
tip; solid and crisp; very short top. This is a splendid 
variety and very popular on many markets.
