History of the Pumpkin.

The term pumpkin, corruption of
 pompion, is very loosely applied in
 this country. In some sections it is
 used to include the squashes, mem
 bers of another species. M
 The pumpkin is an annual belong ing to the gourd family. It is vigor- ous, prostrate plant, running twelve feet or more, with a hairy almost priekling stem. It bears large bell shaped yellow flowers, five cleft, the
 base adheripg to the ealyx tube, with three long muchs curved anthers, which unite into a small head, and three stignnas. The fruit is heshy, with a firm rind, and is nearly round. The outer surface is ribbed or furrok- ed the internal portion mellow and crossed by pulpy threads. The aver age size of the fruit is about one foot in diameter, though 1t is often much larger; it's color is of clear, orange yellow. = F
 Pumpkins are largely cultivated both fia Europe and our country play l ing an important part during the Thanksgiving festivities when made into pies. s5 @
 As ordinarily grown the seeds are planted in fields of corn and potatoes and the plants left to take care oi themselves, yet even with this neg
 lectful cultivation it often yields as much as q ton Of the fruit per acre without apparent detrimeht to tls<
 yield of corn or potatoes in the same 1 field.
 The native country of the pumpkin
 is disputed but there is good reason to believe that it is indigenous tc 1 America. The common field pumpkin
 was much used for food in New Eng land before the infroduction of i'm, proved varieties or of the more edible l squashes, being made into pies, cooked J as squishes are now cooked or baked the seeds. and stringy matter having been removed.
