Pumpkins for Pies and Baking 
(Calabaza Totanera) 
Pumpkins are not so particular as to soil os melons or cucumbers, but in other respects are 
cultivated the same, though on a large scale. They are generally raised between hills of corn 
but may be planted with success in fields by themselves. The pumpkin more properly belongs to 
the farm than the garden, especially as it readily mixes with and injures the finer squash.

seed will plant 20 hills; three pounds will plan, one acre.
