Where space will allow, you should al- 
ways include a few hills of pumpkins. We 
list varieties suitable for pies—Cushaws 
are a food delight, when cut in squares 
and baked. Hill up around your plants, 
allowing space to hold a bucket of water 
and allow it to drain into the soil slowly. 
This method will carry your vines through 
the heat of summer and produce numerous 
pumpkins per hill. Matured pumpkins 
keep indefinitely.

Pumpkins for Pies 
(Calabaza Totamera) 
Pumpkins are not so particular as to soil as melons or cucumbers, but in other respects are 
cultivated the same, though on a large scale. They are generally raised between hills of 
com

the farm than the 
arden, especially as it readily mixes with and injures the finer squash. 
Pumpkins are splendid feed for sheep when pasture begins to fail in the fall. One ounce of seed 
will plant 20 hills; three pounds will plant one acre.
