To Grow 
Pumpkins 
Plant 6 to 8 seeds to the hill. Thin to one 
plant to the hill, 2/4 lb. of seed to 100 hills, 4 
to 5 pounds per acre. 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 pump¬ 
kin patch and Corn for the cornfield. Grow a good stand of pump¬ 
kins and don't raise corn among the pumpkins. The pumpkins 
hinder the corn and the corn hinders the pumpkins. Dust with 
APHICIDE No. 21 for the striped bugs and Aphicide No. 15 for the 
black squash bugs. See pages 17 and 18.

of drill—55 to 120 lbs. per acre.

worked. It is best to double rows about six inches apart and then leave a
