WATERMELON 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 2 lbs. per acre. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 14 lb. 30c; 1 lb. $1.00. 
Black-Seeded Ice Cream. The melon is almost round, with a 
thin rind of medium green. The inside flesh is pink and ex¬ 
ceptionally sweet and fine flavored. This variety matures 
early and is a fine keeper. Rich, rather sandy soils produce 
the finest crops of Watermelons, but a well-drained loam, 
especially with a southern exposure, is also suitable. Two 
shovelfuls of well-decomposed manure should be mixed with 
the soil under each hill. Watermelons should not be planted 
until the weather is quite warm. The plants grow vigorously, 
and for this reason the hills should be about 6 to 8 feet apart.

deep with fine soil. One ounce will plant 20 to 25 hills; 4 to 5 
pounds per acre.
