GROW MORE CANTALOUPES. 
Every garden a few hills 
Schell’s Cantaloupes “Serene 
There are 15 million crates grown annually—worth 13 million dollars. Get your share of this big business by 
growing more Canteloupes. Of these, 15 thousand carloads were shipped east from California annually. You can 
grow them just as fine here if you plant Schell’s Quality Seed. 
HOW TO GROW CANTALOUPES and WATERMELONS. Plant them in May. They always do best on a light, loose, 
rich soil. Dig deep and work the soil until it is very fine, mixing several shovels of Wizard Brand Sheep Manure or some other 
well-rotted manure into each hill. No plants do well on half-worked, “lumpy” soil, void of plant-food. Make hills of Cantaloupes 
4 to 5 feet apart each way, and Watermelons 6 to 8 feet apart. Plant 10 to 12 seeds in a hill to insure a good stand of plants. 
As soon as they are through the ground, spray. When danger of bugs is past, thin out all but two of the best plants. Keep spray- 
ing them every two weeks, if necessary. In cultivating do not injure the plants. One ounce 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds to an acre. 
The time from planting to ripening for eating is given after each variety. This is approximate, as growing conditions have their 
effect in either helping or retarding growth. Do not pull your melons until you are sure they are ripe.
