WATERMELON 
One ounce of seed for 30 hills; sow 4 to 5 pounds per acre. 
CULTURE —The best soil for growing watermelons is light, rich, and 
sandy. When the ground is thoroughly warm, and all danger of frost 
is past, drop 8 to 10 seeds in hills 8 to 10 feet apart, covering the 
seed about an inch. When the plants begin to run to vines, thin out 
all but the 3 strongest plants in each hill. Hoe often and thoroughly. 
For bugs, dust with Garden Guard or Nok-Em-Kold, and for lice, 
spray with Evergreen. See page 73.
