Cutture. The finer varieties of pumpkins are used for pies and the 
coarser ones for stock feeding. While the pumpkin may be grown very 
much as cucumbers are grown in a garden, they are more frequently 
planted in the field with corn, where several seeds are dropped in each 
fourth hill. Planted alone, six to ten seeds are covered one inch deep in 
hills eight to ten feet apart and thinned to two to four plants to the hill.
