R.-H. Co.*s Watermelons 
Culture—Prepare hills 8 or 10 feet apart each way by working in thor¬ 
oughly rotted manure or poultry droppings—rich ground gives the plants a 
good start before insects attack them. When the ground is warm plant 6 
or 8 seeds to the hills, covering an inch deep and, when well up, thin out, 
leaving three strong plants to each hill. Do not grow near pumpkins and 
gourds. They are often planted between the rows in a cornfield. In grow¬ 
ing they require plenty of water. Avoid lifting the vines and use only hand 
tools in cultivating. One ounce will plant 30 hills; 3 lbs. will plant an acre. 
Spray young plants with Pyrox for insects and diseases. For early plantings 
use Hotkaps. This method means two weeks ahead on the market. 
All prices on Watermelon seeds are pO'stpaid.
