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 seeds to the hill. 
For a good crop the soil should be rich. Cultivate same as cucum- 
bers or melons. Pumpkins should not be planted in the garden, as 
they will readily mix with squash. Plant in corn, about 15 feet apart.

Dickinson

ing; the flesh is extraordinarily thick, being twice or three
