PUMPKIN 
Pumpkins are very easily grown. They 
like a rich sandy loam best. A scoop full 
well rotted manure in the bottom of each 
hill helps a lot. Plant hills 8 to 10 feet 
each way and 5 to 6 seeds in a hill. 
When well started thin out to three 
plants. Use a Hudson Dust gun and 
Aphicide to control the pesky bugs that 
bother them.

SPINACH 
Planting 
Instructions 
Sow in hot-bed in 
March and transplant 
to open ground when 
the weather is favor¬ 
able, in warm mellow 
soil, in rows 18 inches 
apart. In South, where 
seasons are long, they 
may also be sown in 
open ground when 
danger of frost is past 
and soil warm. One 
oz. to 2,000 plants. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 10 
pounds per acre. Cover seed one inch. 
Make sowings in August, protect with 
straw during winter, and this will give 
you an extra early spring crop. Spinach 
seed is slow in coming up. Soak the seed 
in warm water over night before sowing. 
A596 New Zealand or 
EvPrhPfl riffo* days.) This va- 
V Cl UCcti lllg riety is grown to sup¬ 
ply the place of the ordinary spinach 
during the hot months of the year or in 
dry arid places, where the ordinary spin- 
each does not do well. In my garden I 
do not plant any other variety except 
New Zealand, and it does best in both 
cool and wet, as well as for hot, dry 
summers. It makes long branches or 
runners on the ground and by picking 
the end shoots it makes the Diant pro¬ 
duce much more. The plant is very 
large, with thick, fleshy leaves of very 
fine flavor, and remains crisp and tender 
from early summer till cut by frost. 
Everyone should eat more spinach, es¬ 
pecially children. Pkt., 8c; oz., 12c; [4 lb., 
25c; lb., 75c, postpaid.
