'~TRY TORPEDO ONION — IT’S DIFFERENT 
Market Gardeners please ask for quantity prices. 
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 muskmelons mainly in that the 
hills should be from 8 to 10 feet apart, 
according to the variety grown. An ef- 
fort 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 the hot sun. Plant the seed 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 
will plant about 25 hills.
