WATERMELONS 



(SBaffermelonen ) 



Secure good, strong vines early in the season by making the hills large, mellow and well drained, with the manure placed so that 

 they will not dry out quickly under hot suns. All possible protection should be given the young plants, and, as a protection from insects, 

 use dry ashes or coal dust sprinkled over the leaves. Plant the seeds thickly, and thin the plants to four of the strongest in each hill. An 

 ounce of seed will plant about 50 hills.
