Watermelons 
Of late years some very early varieties have been intro¬ 
duced fully equal to the late ones in quality. Even in 
the northern states it is now possible to grow your oiyn 
watermelons. Early varieties ripen in about 75 day’s. 
CULTURE; —Watermelons are grown very much like 
Muskmelons, but the hills require more space, 6x6, or 
6x8 ft. After the soil and weather is warm drop a dozen 
seeds in each hill, covering one inch deep and later 
thinning out to the three strongest plants. Cultivate as 
long as possible before the 
vines cover the ground. 
See QUANTITY OF SEED: 1 
ounce will plant about 30 
the hills.

Muskmelons—Cantaloupes 
CULTURE—Muskmelons delight in warm, rather rich soil, and it will pay you to dig in 
each hill a shovelful of well rotted manure. Do not start outside until the soil and weather 
are warm—so for extra early crops plant some seed in the hotbed or window box. When it is 
warm enough to plant outside make the hills 3x4 ft. apart. Put ten or a dozen seeds in each 
hill, covering about 1 inch, and when the plants are well up thin to three or four plants. 
Melons left on the vines until they are dead ripe are immeasurably better than any you 
can buy in the stores. When ready the melons should be a little soft and they will part 
readily from the stem. 
QUANTITY OF SEED. One ounce will plant about 60 hills, 2 to 3 lbs. an acre.
