WATERMELONS 



Wassermelone, Ger. 



CULTURE. — In order to get good matermelons it_ is essential that the plants have a good start, and to this end 

 it is important to prepare hills by thoroughly working into the soil an abundance of well-rotted manure, and in this 

 plant the seed as soon as the ground becomes warm and dry. Cultivate exactly like cantaloupes, but give more room, 

 say 8 to 10 feet apart each way. They should not be planted near pumpicins, gourds or their species, as tliey will hybrid- 

 ize and injure the flavor of both. One ounce will plant thirty hills; three pounds will plant an acre.
