WATERMELONS 
Watermelons do best on old, rich soil, which is not 
too freshly manured, hence when making the hills, 
well-rotted manure should be used, and it is better to 
prepare them some time ahead before planting the 
seed. If manure cannot be obtained, use good com- 
mercial fertilizer or sheep manure mixed with the soil. 
One ounce plants 20 hills; 4 pounds per acre. Plant 
early in May or for late use, in June. 
Culture. Treat as for muskmelons, but give more 
room, 10 to 12 feet apart each way.
