Culture. Require a rich, though sandy soil for perfect development, and thrive best in warm latitudes, such as the Southern or Southwestern States, 
although in a warm sandy soil in a more northern latitude fine crops are often obtained. Cultivate and treat exactly as for Muskmelons, except that the hills 
should be eight to ten feet apart. 1 ounce seed to 30 hills; 3 to 4 pounds for an acre. 
405. General Pershing Watermelon. A wonderiul pro- 
ducer. No culls. Stands dry weather. Disease resistant. The 
sparkling red flesh is as sweet as honey. Size uniformly large. 
Color a light pea green. Will not sunburn. Ripens earlier than 
Tom Watson.
