Kleckley's Sweet. 
Water Melons are cultivated in hills, which should be six to eight feet apart each way, and of light, moderately rich soil. 
The hills should be dug about two feet square, 18 inches deep, and half filled with well-rotted manure, which must be thoroughly in- 
corporated with the soil. Plant in May, ten seeds to a hill, when the plants are well up, thin out to three. Cultivate until the vines 
cover the ground, and pinch the ends of the growing shoots to induce early fruiting. Seeds should not be put into tho hills until the 
weather becomes settled and warm.
