PUMPKINS 
The green aphis or green louse 
and the striped cucumber bug 
are the worst enemies of our 
vine crops. These insects are 
sucking and cannot be destroyed 
with ordinary poison. They must 
he killed by a contact spray or 
dust. Aphicide, a dust, was 
perfected by one of the largest 
vine seed growers, and today 
most all melon and cucumber 
growers rely on Aphicide. Ap¬ 
ply this dust early in the morn¬ 
ing or late in the evening. The 
best way is to use a dust gun.

-- ■—= PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS - -■ ■ = - 
All Pumpkins, Muskmelons and Watermelons are grown in hills. The proper distances between the hills are as follows: Pump 
kins, 12 feet; Watermelons, 8 feet; Muskmelons, 6 feet. Of Muskmelons plant 8 to 10 seeds per hill, and thin out to 3 vines per 
hill when the plants begin to make vines. 1 ounce will plant 60 hills, 3 pounds to the acre. Of Watermelons 1 ounce plants 30 hills, 
3 pounds of seed to the acre. Pumpkins 1 ounce for 25 hills, 3 to 4 pounds of seed per acre. Protect the plants in each hill by 
using Hotkaps assuring best results, especially early crop. Use Aphicide at the first signs of striped bugs or green Aphis.
