WATERMELONS Zanaia ウオタメ ロン ( 西瓜） 
A li,gnt, sandy soil, with good exposure to the sun, is the best tor watermelons. It 
should be prepared deep, but receive shallow cultivation. Hoe often and throughly. To get 
good, strong vines early in the season, from large, well-drained hills of earth, made very 
rich, about 8 feet apart. In tilie.se plant the seed as soon as the ground is warm and dry, 
dropping 6 to io seeds in the hill. Protect the young plant from insects. One oz. to 30 hills, 
3lbs. to the acre. When the plants are about 4 inches high thin out, leaving only four of 
the strongest plants to each hijl. • 
KLONDYKE 〔クロ ンダイク ) 一 A great favorite of recent introduction. Oblong, dark rich 
greeii, flesh bright red, very crisp and sweet. We first offered the Klondike watermelon 
in 1914. It gained in popularity each year, first in one market then another. On account 
of the thin rind and extreme crispness the shipper was slow to accept it. But its extreme 
popularity impelled the snipper to grow it. Each year a larger acreage was planted, bring¬ 
ing greater profit to the grower. Although having a very 
thin rind if is a better shipper because it does not wilt. 
We now feel that the Klondyke has fairly won the title. 
“The Prince of all Watermelons.” The seed is small. 
One pound of Klondyke will number as many seeds as 
two pounds of other varieties. The color of the seed is 
brown, mottled black. (Pkt., 10c.) (oz. 25c.) (J 4 lb. 75c.)
