Watermelon—selected seed 
CULTURE—•Watermelons do best in light, well-drained soils. To get good melons, it is essential that 
the plants have a good start, therefore the seed should be put in ju=t as soon as the wester is really 
warm and settled. Prepare hills about 8 feet apart, working into the soil an abundance of well-rotted ma¬ 
nure and in these plant the seed, thinning out to 2 or 3 plants in each hill. 
One ounce plants 30 hills; 3 lbs. to the acre. Plant early in May, or, for late use, in June.
