used largely for stock feeding and for exhibition purposes; we 
occasionally have fruits weighing 100 pounds, but the average 
is considerably under this. They are a bright lemon in color, 
mottled with orange color; the fruits are round, with a trace of 
ribbing. The flesh is very hard, firm and while a little coarse 
in texture, is of good quality. Very often the fruits are netted

Early White Bash Squash 
PUMPKIN SEED 
CULTURE;—One ounce will plant' 20 hills; 3 pounds will plant 1 acre. 
Plant in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way; 4 seed to the hill. For a 
good crop the soil should be rich. Cultivate same as cucumbers or melons. 
Pumpkins should not be planted in the garden, as they will readily mix 
with squash, much to the detriment of same. Many pumpkins are raised 
between corn hills, where they should be planted about 16 feet apart.
