MAULE'S SUPERIOR WATERMELONS 



CCLT0RE.— Watermelons do best on light, well drained soils, but there are varieties adapted to heavy loams. The hills should be 8 feet 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 SO hills; 3 or 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 95 days. Citron Melons are ready in about 100 days. 



* 387 Maule's Panmure All-Heart Watermelon 



The Sweetest of all; a Vigorous Grower and Exceedingly Productive 



Here we have an entirely distinct variety that is sure to excite the admiration of all lovers of fine watermelons. It is 

 not only of superb flavor, but is all its name implies. 8olid as a cannon ball, and while it has a thin rind, the skin is 

 firm, consequently making it a good shipper. Seeds are about the same size as apple seeds ; but, not withstanding this fact, 

 the average weight of the melon is 30 to 40 pounds. The shape, which runs uniform, is well shown in illustration. Every 

 one of our customers who grow watermelons should make a trial of Panmure All-Heart this season, as it is sure to please the 

 most exacting. Matures in 80 days. Our seed supply of this popular watermelon in somewhat limited, so advise ordering early.
