WATERMELON. 
Secure good strong vines early in the season by making the hills large, mellow and 
well drained, with the manure placed so that they will not dry out quickly under hot 
suns. All possible protection from insects should be given the young plants, and as a 
protection from insects, use dry ashes or coal dust sprinkled over the leaves. Plant the 
seeds thickly, and thin the plants to four of the strongest in each hill. 
One oz. to 50 feet of drill; 1 to 2 pounds to the acre.

PUMPKIN. 
Grown principally for stock-feeding, yet some are so sweet, juicy and fine-grained that they will 
always be considered indispensable for pies and sauces. The vines require the same culture as that
