Burpee’s PUMPKINS 
The very mention of the word “‘pumpkin’’ reminds one of the sweet, 
delicious flavor of pie. Fruits may be used in the fall or stored in a dry, 
moderately warm place for use during the winter; the flesh may also be 
canned. Some varieties of winter squashes, especially Boston Marrow, com- 
monly known as the Basket Pumpkin, are generally grown for pumpkin pie 
instead of the true pumpkins. The best pumpkin for general use whether in 
the home garden, market garden or roadside sales is Small Sugar.
