Luscious Watermelons 



Culture: Watermelons do best on light, well drained soils, but there also 

 are varieties adapted to heavy loams. The hills should be 8 ft. apart each 

 way, with some well rotted manure in each hill, thoroughly incorporated with 

 the soil. Plant the seed as soon as the weather is really warm and settled. 

 A packet will plant about 10 hills, an ounce about 30 hills; 3 or 4 pounds of 

 seed to the acre. Allow two or three plants to remain in each hill. Ready to 

 use in 60 to 100 days. Fight insects with Evergreen, Bug Death, or Slug 

 Shot.
