PRICE’S VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Watermelon 
All pkts. 5 cts. 
A light, sandy soil, with good exposure to the sun, is the best 
situation for Watermelons. The ground should be prepared deeply, 
but receive shallow cultivation. Hoe often and very thoroughly about 
the hills. If extra-large Watermelons are desired for exhibition pur¬ 
poses, leave but one or two on a single vine. Plant 1 inch deep in 
hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way, with a very generous shovelful of 
well-rotted manure mixed with the soil in each hill. If commercial 
fertilizer is used, it should contain a large percentage of ammonia 
and potash. Plant eight to ten seeds in each hill, and finally, when 
danger from insects is past, thin out to three strong plants. Water¬ 
melon seeds being large, an ounce is about right for small gardens. 
One ounce of seed will plant 20 to 30 hills; 4 to 5 lbs. will plant 
an acre.

ONION 
HOW TO GROW ONIONS: For dry (fall) bulbs, select a clean, rich, well-drained and well-manured piece of land, prepare a perfect seed¬ 
bed, and sow seed in early spring in drills 15 in. or so apart. Use wheel hoes and weeders freely, and thin plants to stand at least 2 in. 
apart in the rows. Pull when tops begin to die down, cure, or store in a cool,. dry place. One ounce for 100 feet of row, four to five pounds 
for one acre. FOR SETS, select clean, sandy soil of medium fertility, prepare it well in early spring, and at once sow seed in drills a foot 
apart, using 40 to 60 lbs. of seed to the acre.

YELLOW VARIETIES 
Price’s Improved Yellow Globe Danvers 
A special strain of our own sold only by us. This 
variety is a great yielder and a fine keeper, and will 
produce more large, fine-shaped, marketable onions to

This new onion has rapidly attained great popularity

tractive deep yellow color, nearly globe shape, unusual¬ 
ly large and with a fine tight skin, making them very 
good keepers. Yields of 1,400 bu. per acre have been

this account. These onions are remarkable keepers and 
can be stored all winter. Not quite as large as Yellow 
Globe Danvers, but of good size and often profitable to 
grow. Oz. 30 cts., Vi lb. 80 cts., 1 lb. $2.75.
