WATERMELON. 
Secure good strong vines early in the season by making the hills large, mellow and 
well drained, with the manure placed so that they will not dry out quickly under hot 
suns. All possible protection from insects should be given the young plants, and as a 
protection from insects, use dry ashes or coal dust sprinkled over the leaves. Plant the 
seeds thickly, and thin the plants to four of the strongest in each hill. 
One oz. to 50 feet of drill; 1 to 2 pounds to the acre.

PUMPKIN. 
Grown principally for stock-feeding, yet some are so sweet, juicy and fine-grained 
that they will always be considered indispensable for pies and sauces. The vines require 
the same culture as that recommended for melons, but the seeds must be planted in hills 
much wider apart; frequently they are planted among corn. A pound of seed will plant 
from 200 to 300 hills. One to two pounds to the acre. 
Sweet Cheese or Kentucky Field . 
The best sort.

Of the crookneck type with mottled green and white stripes; 
fruit will weigh from io to 15 pounds; flesh yellow, very solid 
and fine grained.
