PUMPKIN 
A few hills of Pumpkins should be in every garden. The quality of home-grown Pumpkins is far superior to the 
canned product. In addition, they make excellent food for stock and can be grown among the Sweet Corn at prac- 
tically no extra expense. 
Culture. Generally planted in Corn after the last working and gathered after Corn has been shocked. For field 
crop, plant in May or June in hills 8 feet apart, about 5 to 10 seeds to the hill and cultivate until the vines get 
strong; then thin out leaving 2 or 3 of the strongest plants in each hill. 
One ounce plants 20 hills; four pounds to the acre.
