WATERMELONS § 
CULTURE—A hill of watermelons spreads over a large 
space and should be planted in hills from eight to ten 
feet each way in order to give them plenty of room. 
Mix thoroughly with the soil for each hill a forkful of 
well rotted manure and put about one inch fresh earth 
over the manured soil. The seed should not be planted 
until the ground becomes warm and dry. Put 10 to 12 
seeds to the hill. After plants are good and strong, thin 
out to 3 or 4 to the hill. Cultivate often, keep weeds 
down. 
DIXIF QUEEN—An enormous yielder. Vines of vigorous 
growth. Melons in form round to oval. Skin striped
