 One ounce will plant 50 hills. 



CULTURE. — Watermelons are cultivated in hills which should be 6 to S feet apart each way. and composed of light, 

 moderately rich soil. The hills should be dug about 2 feet square, 18 inches deep, and half filled with well rotted manure, 

 which must be thoroughly incorporated with the soil. Plant in May, ten seeds to a hill, and when the plants are well up, 

 thin out to three. Cultivate until the vines cover the ground, and pinch the ends of the growing shoots to induce early 

 fruiting. 



TOM WATSON.— This melon 

 has created quite a furore wher- 

 ever grown, and we believe is 

 unquestionably the best quality 

 shipping melon in our list. It 

 has a dark green rind, solid red 

 luscious meat, ripening close up 

 to the rind. The rind is very 

 tough, making it an excellent 

 melon for shipping long dis- 

 tances. Its flavor and fine quali- 

 ties also commend it very 

 strongly for the private grower. 

 We believe it is destined to be- 

 come one of the most popular 

 melons on our list. Pkt., 5c; 

 oz., 10c; 1 , lb., 15c; 1 lb.. 50c.

ONION SEED 



Spanish, Cebbolla 



French, Oignon 



Silver Skin Onion. 



One ounce will plant 100 feet of drill; 5 or 6 pounds in drills for an acre. 

 For sets from 50 to 60 pounds should be sown to the acre, according to the 

 richness of the soil. 



CULTURE. — The Onion thrives best in a rather deep, rich, loamy soil. and. 

 unlike most vegetables, succeeds well when cultivated on the same ground for 

 successive years. The best culture requires that the ground be deeply trenched 

 and manured the previous autumn, and laid up in ridges during the winter, 

 to pulverize. As early in the spring as the ground is in wo.king order, com- 

 mence operations by leveling the ground with a rake and tread it firmly; sow 

 thinly in drills about one-fourth of an inch deep, and 1 foot apart; cover with 

 fine soil, and press down with the back of a spade or a light roller. When the 

 young plants are strong enough, thin gradually so that they stand 3 or 4 

 inches apart. Keep the surface of the ground open and free from weeds by 

 frequently hoeing, taking care not to stir the soil too deeply or to collect it 

 about the growing bulbs.
