PUMPKIN. 
Grown, principally for stock-feeding, yet some are so sweet, juicy and fine-grained that they will 
always be considered indispensable for pies and sauces. The vines require the same culture as that 
recommended for melons, but the seeds must be planted in hills much wider apart: frequently they are 
planted among corn. A pound of seed will plant from 200 to 300 hills. One to two pounds to the acre.

RADISH. 
Sow in sheltered spot, the earth being deeply dug, highly fertilized, and raked free from clods and 
stones. Radishes grown on poor, thin soil cannot be made good; they will be misshapen and tough. 
To be good they must be grown quickly. Radishes can be forced by covering with a window or 4 sash. 
One oz. to 100 feet of drill; 10 to 15 pounds per acre.
