MELON— Water. 



Wonder Water Melon. 



CUIiTUBE. — Water Melons will grow and produce in places where Cantaloupes will 

 not do well. The soil for this plant must be light and sandy. Plant In hills about eight 

 feet apart, eight to twelve seeds in a hill; when the plants are well up thin out to three. 

 The plants should be hoed often and the ground between the hills kept clean until the 

 vines touch. One ounce to 25 hills: 2 pounds per acre. In order to raise large Water 

 Melons it is necessary to fertilize the soil thoroughly. 



The surest remedy and preventive for any disease in Water Melons is not to plant 

 them on the same ground for at least three or four years. It has been our experience 

 that Melons will not blight or wilt (the only disease that we know of) if above rule 

 IS followed. The principal insect pest is the Striped Squash Beetle, which attacks the 

 young plants almost as soon as they are above ground, and will absolutelv destrov 

 them unless checked bv some efficient means. Tl\e best method of control is to keep 

 the young plant dusted with "Corona Dry." being sure to get it well under the leaves 

 and on the stem. Planted from March to June.
