Burpee’s PUMPKINS 
The very mention of the word “pumpkin” reminds one of the sweet, de- 
licious flavor of pie. Fruits may be used in the fall or stored in a dry, mod- 
erately warm place for use during the winter; the flesh may also be canned. 
Some varieties of winter squashes, especially True Hubbard, which repre- 
sents the perfection of winter squashes for pies and baking; 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.
