~~ PUMPKIN 
CULTURE—Pumpkins are easy to raise and are very valu-

Plant in May and June in rich hills 8 feet apart, covering 
the seed about 1 inch. Keep well cultivated, and when 
the plants are well up, thin to 8 of the strongest to each 
hill. Pumpkins also do well when grown in the corn, 
planting a few seeds in every fifth or sixth hill in every 
fourth or fifth row letting the hill of pumpkin take the 
place of a hill of corn. Do not plant near melons, squashes 
or cucumbers, as they will hybridize, which will spoil the 
flavor of both.
