Maule's Watermelons 



Culture: As soon as weather has become warm, plant 6 to 8 seeds in'a hill, spacing the 

 hills 8 ft. apart each way. Cover seed H in. deep. A shovelful or two of well-rotted manure 

 should be mixed with the soil in the bottom of each hill. Thin seedlings to 2 or 3 in each 

 hill. A packet will plant about 10 hills; an ounce about 30 hills; 3 or 4 lbs. of seed to the 

 acre. Rich, light sandy soils produce the best watermelons. Fight insects with Red Arrow, 

 Evergreen, Bug Death, Slug Shot or Arsenate of Lead.

 delightful flavor and without any white hearts or stringiness. Average size
