WATERMELONS 
To raise good Watermelons it is essential that the plants have a good start, and it is important to propar. 
hills about 6 feet apart, by thoroughly working into the soil an abundance of well-rotted manure—hen manure, sheep 
manure, or other forms rich in nitrogen, being most desirable. Over this highly mannured soil put 1 to t inches of 
fresh earth and plant the seeds in this, covering them about an inch deep. It is important that the seed should not 
be planted before the ground becomes warm and dry, as the young plants are very sensitive to cold and wet. Put f. 
or 7 seeds in a hill. 1 ounce for 30 hills; 4 to 5 lbs, for an acre.

TURNIP 
CULTURE —For early use sow very thinly in March 
or April in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart; thin out to 
6 inches in the rows. For fall or winter crop, sow in July 
and August. The old saw: “On the twentieth of July, sow 
your turnips, wet or dry,” is good advice and sow very 
sparingly—one seed to the inch is enough. The Rutabagas 
are grown feeding stock, and are also excellent for 
the table. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; 1 to 1 % 
lbs. to the acre.
