PUMPKINS 
For Pies, for Stock 
For Fairs, for Halloween ! 
No farm should be without a field of Pumpkins—some big- ones to 
take to the Fair, quite a few of the Pie Pumpkins! and plenty to 
feed to the stock. They arei excellent for sheep after grass pasture 
fails. Grow two crops on the same land by planting Pumpkins in 
with your corn or potatoes. 
CULTURE. —Not so particular as to soil as the other vine crops, 
such as Cucumbers and Melons, but are cultivated about the same. 
After danger of frost is over, plant the seed in hills eight to ten 
feet apart each way, dropping about a dozen seeds in a hill. The 
soil should be made as rich as possible. When danger from bugs is 
past, thin to three plants to a hill. One ounce of seed to 25 hills, 
3 to 4 lbs. per acre. Dust with “Slug Shot” to kill bugs and worms.
