Grow DELICIOUS WATERMELUNS 
HOW EASY TO GROW 
Prepare hills 8 or 10 feet apart each way by working the soil thoroughly—rich ground gives 
the plants a good start before insects attack them. When the ground is warm plant 6 or 8 seeds 
to the hill, covering an inch deep and when well up, thin out, leaving three strong plants to each 
hill. Do not grow near pumpkins and gourds. They are often planted between the rows in a corn- 
field. In growing they require plenty of water. Avoid lifting the vines and use only hand tools in 
cultivating. One ounce will plant 30 hills; 2 to 3 pounds will plant an acre. For best results mix 
a level tablespoonful of Vigoro in the hill before planting the seed.

How To Grow Big Ones 
Leave only two of the best young melons 
on the vine. Select the melons to leave 
when vines are about eight feet long, keep- 
ing all melons pulled off until vines get 
size, then leave just two of the best. When 
those ripen leave two more. Never plant 
melons on same land more than one time 
in five years, unless you have deep bottom 
land, and then not more than two years in 
succession.
