Culture* Pumpkins delight in rich, sandy soil that is perpet- 
Luuurc ually moist—the soil that retains moisture by the 
dry farming method, because pumpkins do not want too much 
water, and to flood them would destroy them, so when irri¬ 
gating make the furrows nearly as far from the hill as the 
tip of the vine, and when the vines intersect, run the water 
through the middle of the row. Plant the seeds every 8 or 
10 feet, allowing only one plant to remain. 1 lb. of seed plants 
an acre. Plant from April to July.
