Culture. The soil for Watermelons must be light, rich and 

 Bandy, for if grown on a heavy soil the quality will be poor, and 

 they will not be so early. When there is no more danger of frost 

 drop 8 to 10 seeds in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way, covering 



about J^ inch deep. As 

 soon as plants oom- 

 mense to run, thin out 

 to 3 best plants in a hiU, 

 and cultivate until the 

 vines cover the whole 

 ground. If slow to 

 fruit, pinch off the ends 

 of the growing shoots. 

 Ash or air-slated lime 

 sifted on the young 

 plants while dew is on 

 is good to keep insects 

 out. One ounce will 

 plant about 30 hills, 

 and it takes 3 to 4 

 pounds to an acre.
