Ibs. will plant one acre. 
355. VIRGINIA MAMMOTEi 
We have never grown a pumpkin that com- 
bined so many good qualities as the Virginia 
Mammoth. It not only grows to an immense 
size, but its keeping quality is most remarkable. 
We have kept them in fine condition for a 
whole year after they were taken from the 
field. It is undoubtedly the best pumpkin for 
southern growers. Oval shaped, thick flesh of 
fine flavor makes delicious pumpkin pie.

for pies; fine grained, delicious, and a good 
keeper; flesh rich, deep orange-yellow. 
369. KING OF THE MAMMOTHS or 
JUMBO

more in diameter; average 60 pounds. Bright 
yellow with thick, firm orange-yellow, sweet 
and tender; fine for pies and stock feeding.

very sweet and a good keeper. 
368. TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO

grained and like a sweet potato in flavor. 
370. LARGE SWEET CHEESE 
A fine pumpkin for both table and stock. Often 
attains 25 lbs. in weight; mottled green and 
yellow when young, creamy yellow when ripe. 
The flesh is yellow, extra thick, tender, sweet 
and of finest quality. For pies, canning and 
feeding stock, it is first class. 
371. CORN FIELD PUMPKIN 
For stock feeding, usually planted in cornfields, 
making enormous crops. 
RADISH 
PLANT FEBRUARY TO MAY; AUGUST AND 
SEPTEMBER

ly. Commencing with the first mind spell, sow at inter-

May also be grown as a catch-crop between rows of 
beets, lettuce, onions, etc., or planted in the row with 
slow-growing vegetables like carrots and parsnips. 
1 oz. will plant 100 feet; 8 to 10 Ibs., 1 acre.

depended on to produce crisp, juicy radishes 
with that snappy quality a radish should have.

TURNIP or SPARKLER
