Pumpkins 
The Pumpkin is now little used except for agricultural pur¬ 
poses, the squashes being so much sweeter and drier and finer 
grained for the kitchen. The farmer, however, finds the Pump¬ 
kin a serviceable addition to his feed. The most common 
method of cultivation is to plant them with corn, two or three 
seeds to each hill. 
Sow %pound to 100 hills; 3 to 4 pounds, an acre 
Connecticut Field. 70 days. Very productive; largely grown 
for feeding stock. 
Mammoth. 85 days. Immense size, often weighing over 100 
pounds. 
Sugar. 65 days. Round, not large, but very sweet, and an 
excellent table variety. 
Winter Luxury. 90 days. Fine pie Pumpkin, round, color 
russet-yellow; flesh thick; fine flavor. 
Sugar Pumpkin 
Radish 
Sow in the open ground as soon as it can be worked, at 
intervals of ten days for a succession as long as wanted. Sow 
in hotbed or greenhouse in winter. The winter varieties should 
be sown in August and lifted before severe frost. As their 
tender and mild qualities depend on rapid growth, the soil 
should be rich, light and mellow. 
Sow %ounce to 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 pounds, an acre 
Cavalier. Short-topped, globe-shaped, deep scarlet roots, 
principally used for forcing but can be grown outdoors. 
Selected seed-stock. 
Cooper’s Sparkler. The color is a rich carmine-scarlet, with 
a very pronounced tip of the purest white. The roots, even 
when fully developed, are solid, crisp, sweet, and remain 
fit for use as long as the coarser kinds. 
Crimson Giant. Early, large, globe-shaped Radish with crisp, 
solid flesh that remains a long time without getting pithy. 
French Breakfast. 25 days. Olive-shaped; red above and 
white below; medium size; small top and of quick growth; 
crisp, sweet, and tender. 
Glowing Ball. This is really a fine Radish. Its glowing color, 
excellent quality, crispness, and uniformity are its out¬ 
standing features. 
Icicle. 30 days. A handsome first-class early variety, in color 
snowy white. It grows to the average length of the long 
varieties, but holds its fullness well down to the tap-root. 
Exceedingly attractive and excellent in every way. 
Round Black Spanish. 60 days. A popular round winter 
variety with black skin and mild sweet flesh. A good keeper. 
Vick’s Early Scarlet Globe. 20 days. For forcing in the 
greenhouse, hotbed, or cold frame, and for sowing in open 
borders early in the spring, there is no other red variety so 
desirable. 
White Giant Stuttgart. 50 days. Very early; grows to a 
large size; fine quality; firm and brittle.
