ONION. 
Onions thrive best on a rich, deep, loamy soil. For sets, the seeds should be sown very thickly 
in drills as early as possible in spring. In summer, as soon as the tops die down, harvest the bulbs and 
store them in a dry, cool place, spreading them in thin layers. Early in the following spring replant them 
4 inches apart, in small drills 12 inches apart, and they will form into fine, large bulbs early in the 
season. Large Onions may also be grown from seed the first season if the land is strong and well 
manured, the seed sown thinly in drills a foot apart, and the seedlings thinned to stand 3 or 4 inches 
apart in drills; they must be well cultivated and kept free frony weeds. Five pounds per acre will be 
required for large onions; for sets, 25 to 30 pounds. 
One-half oz. to 100 feet of drill.

MUSKMELON. 
Muskmelon seed should not be planted outdoors until the ground has become warm and dry. The 
hills should be about 6 feet apart, and carefully prepared. ‘Rich earth is far better for the young 
plants than manure; but if the latter must be used see that it is well rotted. Plant from six to twelve 
seeds in a hill, and when the young seedlings are strong enough to resist the attacks of insects, thin 
them, leaving three of the strongest in each hill. One oz. to 50 hills; 1 to 2 pounds per acre.

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 beer over the leaves. Plant the seeds thickly, and thin the plants to four of the strongest
