Big, Sweet, Juicy WATERMELONS 
Prepare hills 8 or 10 feet apart each way by working the soil 
How Easy to Grow 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 cornfield. 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, Victory Garden Fertilizer, in the hill before planting the seed.

How To Grow Big Ones 
Leave only two of the best young mel- 
ons on the vine. Select the melons to 
leave when vines are about eight feet 
long, keeping 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.
