WATERMELONS ARE ENJOYED BY ALL 
NICHOLSON'S SOUTHERN GROWN WATERMELON SEED 
(Sandia) 
A light, sandy soil, with good exposure to the sun, is the best for watermelons. It should be prepared deeply, but 
receive shallow cultivation. Hoe often and thoroughly. Plant 8 to 10 seeds in a hill, and finally when danger of insects is 
past, leave but three strong plants. Plant 2 to 83 pounds per acre in hills. Every farm has room for a Melon patch, and 
the home gardener will also get good returns from a small planting of watermelons.

This is one of the earliest Melons grown, and 
a good one to plant in any State—a vigorous 
grower and very attractive in appearance. The 
Melons are large, nearly round; with light 
green rind and wavy stripes. The flesh is bright 
red and of excellent quality. A good Melon for 
shipping. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; %4 Ib., 50c; Ib.,

Melons prune vines to one or two Melons. The 
skin color of this Melon is dark green on a 
thick rind. It’s shape is nearly round with 
blunt ends. The flesh is firm and solid—like 
most large Melons it is rather coarse grained.
