Dickinson 
365. DICKINSON. (105 days.) The fin- 
est pumpkin grown today. It will produce as high 
as 25 tons per acre. The pumpkin is a deep clear 
gold color throughout the flesh, so uniform in 
color that canners do not peel it, but only wash 
and place into the pulverizer where they are 
canned immediately. They pack out the deepest 
gold color one could imagine. It has three out- 
standing characteristics: It is so sweet that it 
requires no sugar nor starch in canning. Second, 
the color is ideal and requires no coloring, and 
third, it is an exceptionally heavy yielder. We 
might add that this variety seems to be resistant 
to insect pests. It is not suitable for Jack o’lan- 
terns because of the shape. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c;

GARDENING FOR HEALTH 
Sweet corn, green peas and other vegetables 
are at their sweetest and best only when they 
can be brought direct from the garden to 
kitchen and cooked within an hour or 
so. This is true of most all vegetables. Re- 
member, vitamins are the most abundant in 
the fresh green and yellow vegetables.
