in hot beds as it is slow in germinating. Set plants in ground when 
about 21/2 inches tall. A moderate dressing of guano, or commer¬

will give better results.

Pumpkins are grown much the same as melons, 
but are less sensitive to cold weather. They are best 
after the first light frosts, usually during the months 
of October and November. Seed should be planted 
during the early part of May, in hills 6 to 8 feet 
apart in all directions. Every garden should have a 
few hills of this truly American vegetable.
