To Mrs. j. Il. Stilphen of Windsorville
belongs the distinction of raising the
largest pumpkin and the smallest
squash seen in this section, thus far
this season. The squash, which was
thoroughly ripe when picked, was only
the size of lemon. whereas the
pumpkin was two feet, six inches in
length, and three feet, six inches in
circumference. 1t grew on a vine. so
feet long. which also bore four other
good sized pumpkins. This vine occu-
pied the center of a miniature garden
twelve feet square, which was Dor
dered by sweet clover plants and sun
flowers, the latter growing to the
height of nine feet. One sunflower
stalk measured ten inches at the base:
the leaves were two feet across. and
the huge blossom was six feet in cir
conference, and Is inches in diameter.
Two dozen tomato plants. dozen hills
of cucumbers. three dozen heads of
lettuce and several Towering plants
also grew in this twelve foot garden.
Another sample of Mrs. Stilphen's sue
cess nj intensive farming are nearly
four bushels Of potatoes which were
