Watermelon 



Three Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds to the Acre. 



Watermelons do well upon sod ground or upon land prepared for their reception by plowing down a 

 crop of Winter Wheat or Winter Rye, the sod or grain aerating or keeping loose the soil. When the Walnut 

 is m bloom the seed is planted in hills at 10 feet apart in each direction. Two large shovelfuls of well- 

 rotted stable manure dug and trampled into each hill and covered with earth. 



The cultivator should be prepared with quite 4 pounds of seed to the acre, that he may have a reserve 

 for replanting in case of destruction of his plants by insect depredations or beating rains. 



One vine alone to the hill should be allowed to attain perfection. With 450 hills to the acre, there 

 should be 900 first-class Melons. 



Much of the Melon seed offered throughout the country is the product of immature and deformed 

 Melons remaining m the field after all the choice fruit has been selected. Landreths' is from mature Melons.
