Jackson’s Southern Grown Watermelon 
Seed 
Culture: Our Watermelon seed is all southern grown and is 
far superior to northern grown seed. A light, sandy soil, with good 
exposure to the sun is the best for Watermelons. It should be pre¬ 
pared deep, but receive shallow cultivation ; hoe often. Plant in hills 
8 to 10 feet apart each way; plant about 10 seeds to the hill, usually 
thinning out to three strong plants to the hill. One-half ounce to 100 
feet of row: 2 nounds to the acre. 
NEW WONDER WATERMELON. This new variety of Melons is 
about 5 or 6 years old, and is gaining in popularity each year. It is 
a large and long Melon, somewhat resembling the Watson; the rind 
is a dark, solid green, being thin but very tough. The flesh is a 
beautiful red, having a solid heart which does not show a hollow. 
An exceptionally fine eating Melon, good for use and fine for market. 
The seed is white with but few in the Melons, being very prolific. 
We highly recommend it to our customers and know they will be 
well pleased with it. It is not susceptible to the white heart and is 
undoubtedly the most handsome and delicious Melon on today’s market. 
Being a poor seeder, naturally price is higher than other varieties.
