KNOX’S PUMPKINS 
Pumpkins are frequently planted in connection with a crop 
of field corn, and if you grow corn you may just as well grow 
pumpkins. They will grow best in soil kept moist by the dry 
farming method, as too much moisture will kill them. Plant 
the seed in open ground after the danger of frost is over, in 
hills 8 feet apart each way; drop from 8 to 10 seeds per hill 
and when the plants are about 5 inches high and danger of 
insect pests is past, thin to 3 or 4 of the healthiest plants. If 
irrigation is needed, run the water in ditches about 18 inches 
from the hill. About 3 pounds of seed will plant one acre. 
California Field. Largely used for stock feeding. Fruits very 
large, somewhat variable in form and color. Pkt. 5c. 
Green Striped Cushaw. Widely used for stock feeding. Fruits 
large, commonly become 18 to 20 in. long and weigh 12 lbs.;

with green stripes and veining; shell thin; flesh thick, coarse, 
cream color. Pkt. 5c. 
Large Yellow or Connecticut Field. The standard field pump- 
kin, grown for pies, canning and stock feed. Fruits very large, 
commonly 10 in. long, 12 in. diameter and weigh 20 lbs., some- 
times much larger; skin smooth, deep orange-yellow; shell thin, 
hard; flesh thick, coarse, sweet and deep yellow. Pkt. 5e.

value; sometimes used by canners; rather generally grown for

in. through and weigh 60 lbs.; sometimes much larger; skin 
reddish-yellow; flesh thick, bright yellow, firm, rather coarse.

eter and weigh 8 lbs.; skin light orange; not furrowed but with
