WATERMELONS 
The culture of watermelons differs from that of muskmelons mainly in that the hills should be wider apart, from 
8 to 10 feet, according to the variety grown. An effort should be made to secure good strong vines early in the season, and 
this can best be done by taking care that the hills are large, mellow, and well drained, with the manure placed so that 
they will not dry out quickly under hot suns. Plant the seeds thickly when danger of frost is over and thin the plants 
to four of the strongest in each hill. All possible protection from insects should be given the young plants and their growth 
may be still further hastened by frequent application of liquid manure. They mature in 120 to 140 days. As a protection 
from insects, netting is frequently used. One ounce will plant about 25 hills.

The melons should not be picked until they become quite
