| Pumpkin
Pumpkins and squashes are native to the Americas and cultivated by the Indians before Europeans. All have a vining or spreading growth habit which requires considerable space for development. The soil, preferably loamy or sandy, should be fertile or fertilized. The crop is usually planted in hills from 6-8' apart or in corn rows or along fences where vines may range. Four to six seeds are planted per hill and before vining are thinned to 2 to 3 plants per hill. An acre requires 4 lbs. of seed. Both pumpkin and squash have an important place in the American diet and certain species make excellent cheap stock feed. |
