HOW TO GROW CANTALOUPES and WATERMELONS. Plant them in May. They always do best on a light, loose, 
rich soil. Dig deep and work the soil until it is very fine, mixing several shovels of Wizard Brand Sheep Manure or some other 
well-rotted manure into each hill. No plants do well on half-worked, “lumpy” soil, void of plant-food. Make hills of Cantaloupes 
4 to 5 feet apart each way, and Watermelons 6 to 8 feet apart. Plant 10 to 12 seeds in a hill to insure a good stand of plants. 
As soon as they are through the ground, spray. When danger of bugs is past, thin out all but four of the best plants. Keep spray¬ 
ing them every two weeks, or oftener if necessary. In cultivating do not injure the plants. To have melons earlier, start seed 
inside in sod, paper pots, berry boxes, or plant out early and cover with our Hotkaps. These will pay you increased profits. Try 
them. One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds to an acre. 
The time from planting to ripening for eating is given after each variety. This is approximate, as growing conditions have their 
effect in either helping or retarding growth. Do not pull your melons until you are sure they are ripe. 
Schell's “Dee-Licious” Cantaloupe. 
Ready to pick in 85 days. This is our leading variety. It has proved a 
veritable little “gold mine” to some of our customers who have been 
wise enough to grow acres of it in the past few years. When you sell it to your customers for the first time tell them it is Schell’s 
famous “Dee-Licious”—and they will be waiting anxiously for you to come back soon with more of those same good melons. 
Caution—be sure you do not take the melons of this or any other variety off the vines to sell or use until they are ripe. Many 
customers have been lost by growers too anxious to sell, who do not wait or watch carefully to see that the melons are ripe when 
offering them for sale. A half-green melon is unfit to eat. Watch this. Schell’s “Dee-Licious” is just like the picture. Its flavor, 
as everybody says, is “simply dee-licious.” Rich, deep salmon flesh of the most delightful flavor. The melons are 7 to 8 inches 
long. Its vigorous, healthy plants produce twice as many melons as most other varieties. Be sure you figure to include this, the 
most popular Cantaloupe in Pennsylvania, in your garden whether large or small. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 2 ozs. 45 cts.; V41b. 
75 cts.; lb. $2; 3 lbs. (1 acre) $5.75; 15 lbs. (5 acres) $26.25.
