VINE-RIPENED MELONS ARE BEST 
Tendergreen 
JAPANESE MUSTARD-SPINACH—Offered by some 
dealers in the South as TENDERGREEN. A quick grow¬ 
ing vegetable of Oriental origin. In Japan it takes the 
place of Spinach, as it remains tender even in dry 
weather. It is virtually an all season plant. Withstands 
extreme summer heat, also resistant to cold weather. 
The large, oblong leaves are dark green in color with a 
very small center rib. The leaves are cooked and pre- 
pard for table the same as Spinach and Turnip or Mus¬ 
tard Greens. It compares favorably to these greens in 
eating qualities. Does not make roots like Turnips; only 
small thin roots, about 2 or 3 inches in length.

Watermelon 
CULTURE—The seed should be planted in hills about 
8 feet apart and it is well to work into the soil an abund¬

seed should not be planted before the ground becomes 
warm and dry, as the young plants are very sensitive to 
cold and wet. Put 10 to 12 seeds in a hill. When the 
plants have formed the first pair of rough leaves, they 
should be thinned so as to leave 2 to 3 of the strongest 
and best to each hill. Cultivate until vines cover the 
ground. A packet will plant about 10 hills; an ounce 
30 hills; 2 to 3 pounds per acre.
