TO THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 121 Pumpkin (Cucurbita Pepo).German, Kurbis. — French, Courge. — Spanish, Calabaza. We cannot think of admitting this vegetable into the precincts of a garden where there areCucumbers, Melons, and others of similar class. It would mix with and contaminate the quality ofthe more valuable sorts; besides, they would occupy more space than most could allow, as many ofthe varieties attain enormous size. Culture. — Pumpkins are not so particular in regard to soil as Melons or Cucumbers, but, inother respects, are cultivated in a similar manner, though on a much larger scale. They are gen-erally raised on cultivated farms, between hills of Indian Corn, and may be planted with successin fields, by themselves. per oz. Cheese,
