Onions thrive in a reasonably fertile, well drained 
soil. Seed may be sown in the open ground and the 
plants thinned or in beds from which they may be 
transplanted. In mild winter climates sow the seed 
about September for mature Spring onions and No- 
vember through February for mid-Summer and later 
harvest. Mature onions are better grown from seed 
than from sets. 1 oz. of seed will sow about 200 
feet.

WATERMELONS 
The culture of watermelons differs from that of musmelons mainly in that the hills 
should be from 8 to 10 feet apart, according to the variety grown. An effort should 
be made to secure good strong vines early in the season, and this can best be done 
by taking care that the hills are large, mellow, and well drained, with the manure 
placed so that they will not dry out quickly under hot sun. Plant the seeds thickly 
and when danger of frost is over, thin the plants to four of the strongest in each hill. 
All possible protection from insects should be given the young plants and their growth 
may be still further hastened by frequent application of liquid manure. They mature 
in 120 to 140 days. As a protection from insects, netting is frequently used. One ounce
