Culture: A rich, warm, sandy soil is the ideal for raising melons; they respond 

 well to fertilizer. Sow the seed when the ground has become warm, placing 

 6 to 8 seeds in slightly raised hills. Hills should be 8 ft. apart, and thinned to 

 2 or 3 plants per hill. Cover the seed 1 in. deep. Packets plant 10 hills, ounces 

 30 hills. Keep up cultivation as long as possible. Largest watermelons can be 

 raised by permitting only one or two fruits to ripen on each vine.
