MAULE'S SUPERIOR WATERMELONS 



Culture. — Watermelons do best on light, well drained soils, but there are varieties adapted to heavy loams. The hill 

 should be 8 feet apart each way, with some well rotted manure In each hill, thoroughly incorporated with the soil. Plan 

 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 o 

 4 pounds of seed to the acre. Allow two or three plants to remain in each hill. Watermelons are ready to use in 60 to 9 

 days. Citron Melons are ready In about 100 days.

80 days» Sweetest Flavored Large Melon 



One of the most popular, early, large 

 watermelons grown. It is a high bred 

 delicious melon originated in the South, 

 and is especially celebrated for its fine 

 flavor. It is a long, oblong shaped water- 

 melon, averaging 18 to 20 inches in 

 length by 10 to 12 inches in diameter, 

 with a dark green rind. Of handsome 

 appearance; ripens early. The flesh is 

 scarlet, very firm, and of luscious quality 

 and crisp texture. It is widely popular, 

 and is one of the best family garden 

 melons, or for nearby market it is a ready 

 seller, but the rind is rather too tender 

 for distant shipping. It gives satisfaction

 mend it for use both North and South;
