CULTURE Pumpkins grow and thrive in most any soil. A well- 
(j ra i ne( j SO ii subject to irrigation is best. Pumpkins 
like other vine crops, should be irrigated carefully, not allow¬ 
ing the water too close to the main stock. As the roots are 
long, irrigation can be made at the ends of the vine. When the 
fields are covered by vine, irrigate midway between the rows. 
Too much water is very detrimental to the vines. Plant hills 
8 to 10 feet apart each way, placing 4 seeds to a hill and after 
established pull out all but the one healthiest plant. Use one 
pound of seed per acre.

GERMAIN'S SEED POTATOES 
We are headquarters for fine seed potatoes 
and carry only select strains of Early White 
Rose, Early Red Rose and British Queen 
seed stock. Due to the fact that Potato 
prices are continually changing it is impos¬ 
sible for us to list prices in our catalog. 
We welcome inquiries and will be pleased 
to quote you the lowest possible prices. We 
have a very complete “Potato Booklet” 
which we will be glad to send you, FREE, 
upon your inquiring for same. It tells a 
very complete story on the planting, care and 
treatment of Potatoes. 
PUMPKIN TRIAMBLE 
A new introduction from Australia. 
Last year a friend of ours in Australia 
sent us some samples of this new 
Pumpkin. We tried it out at our trial 
grounds and from the result we are 
in a position to furnish limited quan¬ 
tities of this new importation. 
From our observation we highly rec¬ 
ommend it. It is a vigorous grower— 
big yielder. From the picture you can 
see it is different from anything in 
the Pumpkin line. 
This Pumpkin averages 9 pounds and 
is an excellent keeper. We highly rec¬ 
ommend it for Pumpkin pies, or it can 
be baked in the same manner as you 
bake squash. It is sweet and fine 
grained. By all means plant some of 
this variety this year. 
Price 25c per package; 60c per oz.; 
$2.00 Li pound; $6.00 per pound post¬ 
paid.
