PRICE’S VEGETABLE SEEDS 
MUSKMELON 
Plant seed in hills 4 to 6 ft. apart each way, after danger of frost 
is over. Use well-rotted manure in the hills. Insert seeds just under 
surface of soil; thin out, leaving only four plants to a hill. A light, 
warm soil is best, but there are sorts adapted to heavy loams if 
well drained. In hoeing, draw the soil well up to the plants. Fight 
bugs with tobacco dust or calcium arsenate. One ounce to 60 hills; 
two or three pounds to an acre.

keeping qualities. See Price Below.

WATERMELON 
All Packets 5c 
A light, sandy soil, with good exposure to the sun, is the best situation for Watermelons. The ground should be prepared 
deeply, but receive shallow cultivation. Hoe often and very thoroughly about the hills. If extra-large Watermelons are desired 
for exhibition purposes, leave but one or two on a single vine. Plant 1 inch deep in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way, with a very 
generous shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed with the soil in each hill. If commercial fertilizer is used, it should contain a 
large percentage of ammonia and potash. Plant eight to ten seeds in each hill, and finally, when danger from insects is past, 
thin out to three strong plants. Watermelon seeds being large, an ounce is about right for small gardens. One ounce of seed 
will plant 20 to 30 hills; 4 to 5 Ibs. will plant an acre
