PUMPKIN 
Small Sugar 
CULTURE — Sow in the month of May, 
when you plant your corn. Make hills, same 
as you do for squashes, but about 8 to 10 feet 
apart each way. It is preferable to grow 
Pumpkins in the field, and not in the garden, 
as they always mix with the squashes and 
other vines. You can sow some among your 
late corn, putting in a few seeds, say every 
third or fourth hill. This will give you plenty 
for the table, and your stock the coming win- 
ter. One ounce of seed will plant 15 hills; 
3 to 4 pounds will plant an acre.
