early maturing. Melons are almost round, 
medium sized, well netted and moder-

others; does well in all sections and soils.

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 14 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 pro- 
duce the best water- 
melons. Refer to
