.The Cultivation of Pumpkins. —After all 
danger of severe frosts has passed the seed 
may be sown in hills 8 ft. apart each way, or in the corn field, 
using 3 or 4 seeds with that of the corn in every fourth or fifth 
hill. Do not plant different varieties of Pumpkin together, as 
they are very apt to become mixed, although they do not easily 
hybridise with squash or other vines. 1 oz. will plant 25 hills; 
3 lb. will plant an acre. 
RADISH Tire Cultivation of Radish. —Sow on a moderate 
" hotbed in January, February, and March, also

in a rich, deep, moist soil, kept well watered during the hot 
weather. Winter varieties should be planted about the middle of 
July • store the roots during the winter in a cool pit or cellar and
