The true pumpkin is hardly to be considered as a garden crop, and, as
a rule, should be planted among the field corn. Plant where the hills
of corn are missing and cultivate with the corn. However, some of the
better sorts of pie pumpkins should be grown in the garden for cooking
purposes, because they are productive and much superior in quality to
the common field pumpkins.--(F. B. 255; Mich E. S. 20, 190.)
