318—DICKINSON—The finest pumpkin for canning and feed- 
ing; the flesh is extraordinarily thick, being twice or three 
times as thick as other pumpkins. It has an unusual, bril- 
liant, deep gold color that is unique. It is one of the few 
pumpkins that can be canned without the addition of sugar, 
starch or coloring; the texture is smooth with a protein con- 
tent 5 to 8 per cent higher than other Field Pumpkins, there- 
fore that much more valuable for human food or stock feed- 
ing. It yields tremendous tonnage and will succeed where 
other pumpkins are ruined by insects.
