CULTURE.— Plant in hills 6 or 8 feet apart in 

 May. Select warm, light, dry ground, and in pre- 

 paring the hills let them be dug out as broad and 

 deep as the soil will admit ; fill at least one-third 

 full of the best decomposed stable manure, and mix 

 thoroughly with the soil ; fill up a little above the 

 level of the ground. 



THURMOND GRAY WATERMELON— Thur- 

 mond Gray has permanently taken its place among 

 the shipping varieties of melons. It was a favorite 

 with growers in some sections last season and will 

 be grown extensively in the future. It grows to a 

 large size, very productive, and is a good shipping 

 sort. Sells to good advantage in the principal mar- 

 kets. The cutting quality of this melon is excel- 

 lent. The deep, red flesh ripens close to the rind, 

 the flesh being firm, will not break when sliced. 

 Color of the rind is greenish gray. We consider the 

 Thurmond Gray one of the best market sorts and 

 recommend it to both market gardeners and large 

 growers of watermelons. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c 54 ^^- 30c,

Onions— Zwiebel 



Onion Seeds should be sown as early as possible 

 to work the ground, in drills one inch deep and 

 twelve to sixteen inches apart, in rich soil, deeply 

 dug and lightly rolled. Thin to one inch apart. 

 When sowing for sets seeds must be put in very 

 thick, at the rate of twenty pounds to the acre. 

 The same patch may be used year after year for 

 onions and never made too rich. To raise large 

 onions, select a bed of rich soil, work it deeply. 



Good Onion Seed is of the Greatest 

 Importance 



JAPANESE (Ebenezer) — This new variety prom- 

 ises to be one of the best for the production of large

 and shape but a trifle thicker and very much larger 

 in circumference. They are very mild, excellent 

 keepers, rapid growers, and very few go to seed.
