Watermelons 
German—^Wassermelone. Spanlsli—Zandia. 
Italian—Melon d’Aqua. 
Culture: Watermelons do best in light, rich, well-drained 
sandy loam. It is important to prepare hills about 8 feet 
apart each way. Drop 8 or 10 seeds in the hills, covering 
about % inch deep. As soon as plants commence to run, 
thin out to three best plants in a hill.* Be careful not to 
irrigate too often. Watermelons are lovers of drought 
and frequent deep cultivation. A liberal amount of ma¬ 
nure will increase the yield. For extra early melons, use 
our Hotkaps. See page 73.
