A few hills of pumpkins should be in every garden. The quality of home-grown pumpkin is far superior 
to the canned product. In addition, they make excellent food for stock and can be grown among the sweet 
corn at practically no extra expense. 
Culture. Generally planted in corn after the last working and gathered after corn has been shocked. 
For field crop, plant in May or June in hills 8 feet apart, about 8 to 10 seeds to the hill and cultivate until 
the vines get strong; then thin out leaving 2 or 3 of the strongest plants in each hill. 
One ounce plants 20 hills. Two to three pounds to the acre.

One ounce sows 75 feet of drill. If broadcast requires 10 to 12 pounds per acre. 
For forcing in frames sow in January or February. Out-of-doors, sow from March 
to June for early summer crop. For late, sow from July to September. Early sorts 
mature and are ready for the table in 21 to 30 days from sowing. 
Culture. Quick growth is essential for tender crisp radishes. Hence, rich soil 
and plenty of moisture are essential. They can be sown at intervals of 10 days to 
2 weeks for early use or grown as a catch crop between rows of beets, lettuce, 
onions, etc. 
Round Varieties 
290 EARLY WHITE TIPPED SCARLET. One of the handsomest of the 
turnip varieties and a general favorite in nearly all large markets. It is excellent 
as a forcing sort or for earliest planting outdoors. Roots nearly round, slightly 
flattened on under side. Color very deep scarlet with distinctive white tip. Flesh 
white, of best quality. We strongly advise more extensive planting of this sort 
in this locality. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c. 
Early White Tipped Scarlet Radish. 
Crimson Giant Radish.

flattened and slightly earlier maturing. It has very small tops, is of thick growth, 
suitable for forcing or early planting. Color clear white; flesh crisp and tender 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c. 
294 FRENCH BREAKFAST. A small olive-shaped variety about IV 2 inches 
long, which is very quick growing. Color beautiful deep scarlet shading to white 
at the tip. Top small. Quick maturing and splendid for very earliest crop. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c. 
295 CRIMSON GIANT. This variety is suitable both for forcing or early plant¬ 
ing out-of-doors. A remarkable feature of this radish is that it will grow double 
the size of other round red forcing radishes and still remain solid. The ordinary 
forcing radish, after growing to the size of 2 inches in circumference becomes 
pithy, while the Crimson Giant will grow to 6 inches in circumference and still 
remain solid and juicy.

desirable for market gardeners on account of the showy qualities.
