NICHOLSON'S PUMPKINS 
(Calabaza Totanera) 
Pumpkins are not so particular as to soil as melons or cucumbers, buC in other respects are 
cultivated the same, though on a large scale. They are generally raised between hills of corn, 
but may be planted with success in fields by themselves. The Pumpkin more properly belongs 
to the farm than the garden, especially as it really mixes with and injures the finer squash. 
Pumpkins are splendid feed for sheep when pasture begins to fail in the fall. One ounce of 
seed will plant 20 hills; three pounds will plant one acre.
