PUMPKIN 
CULTURE—For seed sown with care, plant 
only one row in five, which, when the vines 
begin to run, may be omitted in cultivation and 
thus the plants will not be injured. Use a dib- 
bler and plant three to five rows in every third 
hill of corn. Plant as a single crop in hills 
eight feet apart each way. Use Paris Green 
land plaster or wood ashes to control the strip¬ 
ed squash bugs. When well established thin to 
four plants in each hill.

PEAS—Early Varieties 
(One pounds of seed for 50 feet of drill) 
Peas from any one planting will remain in the best condition for use only for 
a comparatively short time. To have a constant supply throughout the season, a 
succession of planting should he made. 
The dwarf varieties do not hear as heavily nor for so long a period as the 
climbing sorts, but for small gardens they have the advantage that they are grown 
almost exclusively by many western gardeners. One or two dwarf sorts sown 
every ten days or two weeks will maintain a supply.
