Watermelon 
Sow In Hills 8 Feet Apart in Each Direction. 
1 Ounce Per 100 Hills; 2 Founds to the Acre. 
Watermelons do well upon sod ground or upon land 
where a crop of Winter Wheat or Winter Rye has 
been plowed under, the sod or grain keeping the 
soil loose. The seed should be planted in hills 8 
feet apart in each direction. Well-rotted stable 
manure dug and trampled into each hill and cov¬ 
ered with earth will help wonderfully.
