PATRONIZE THE LANDRETH SEED DEALER IN YOUR TOWN 
PUMPKIN 
Native of Tropical America. Four Pounds of Seed Will Plant an Acre. Hills 8 x 8 if Planted in 
the Open. Breaks ground in 4 days. One inch high in 8 days under most favorable circumstances 
in greenhouse. The time for planting Pumpkin seed varies from the first Corn planting until about a 
month subsequent. Later than that a successful crop cannot be expected as this plant requires a long 
season. When grown with Corn every fourth hill of every fourth row may be planted in Pumpkin Seed 
and this should be done when the Corn is planted. During the working of the Corn, the Pumpkin plants 
will stand imharmed, and after the corn cultivation ceases, the Pumpkin vines will extend over the field, 
almost covering it. Pumpkins are more of a field than a garden Vegetable.

LANDRETHS’ LARGE CHEESE—108 Days. An 
excellent kitchen variety. Shape flat like a Cheese 
box, from which it derived its name, although it is 
slightly ribbed on edges. Outside color lemon, no

THE VALUE OF AN EXPERIMENTAL 
OR TRIAL GROUND 
The success of a seedsman depends upon 
his Field Experience as a worker in a Garden 
or his familiarity with a Trial Ground worthy 
of the name. A place in the open fields is 
like the laboratory to the chemist; where 
differences can be tested and noted. 
Pictures in this Catalog show sections of 
Landreths’ Experimental Grounds, where 
hundreds of stocks of Seeds from many 
sources are tested for the purpose of showing 
purity or impurity, earliness or lateness, size 
of plant, color, flavor, texture, and in fact a 
comparison of every quality. 
Pumpkin we are offering. Don’t confuse this stock 
with the Kentucky Field offered by many seedsmen 
as Cheese. Average weight 17 pounds.
