R.-H. Co.’s WATERMELONS 
Culture—Prepare hills 8 or 10 feet apart each way by working in thoroughly 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 hill, 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 growing 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. 
Dixie Queen 
DIXIE QUEEN. 90 days. Fruits oblong or nearly round, fair 
size, averaging 25 lbs. or more, light green, striped and blotched 
with dark green ; rind thin but tough. Flesh rich scarlet, crisp and 
extremely sweet with very few seeds. Seeds white and small. 
Dixie Queen has now become one of the most popular and desirable 
varieties either for home use, market or trucking. It stands the 
drought better than most other sorts. In normal season grows large 
enough, a nice average size that the trade wants. Dixie Queen 
Melon is sometimes called the white-seeded Cuban Queen. Do not 
confuse .it with old black-seeded Cuban Queen, which is an entirely 
different Melon. Our stock of Dixie Queen is genuine and from the 
very best growers. Postpaid pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 2 ozs., 20c; *4 lb.,
