HOW TO GROW 'EM 
Rich sandy loam soils are considered best for 
Watermelons, but good crops are grown on any 
well-drained, fertile soil. Adding wellrotted 
manure to soil gives the plants @ good start, 
and to commercial growers we recommend an 
application of 600 to 800 pounds of commer- 
cial fertilizer (analyzing about 5 per eent am- 
monia, 7 per cent phosphoric acid, and 3 per 
cent potash) to fhe acre, Space hills at least 
10 feet apart. This method will give about 
360 hills to the acre. When the soil has be- 
come warm, drop 6 to 8 seeds in each hill and 
eover about 1 inch, Later thin to 2 to 3 of 
the largest plants. Earlier crops may be ob- 
tained by protecting the young plants with 
Hotkaps (see rear of catalog). “One ounce 
will plant 25 hills; 1%4 to 2 pounds per acre, 
The melon itself is uniformly heavy, oblong, often 22 inches 
in length. Average weight is 30 to 50 pounds, although speci- 
men fruits weighing 75 to 100 pounds have been grown. 
The ‘color of the rind is a rich, glossy, bluish-green with 
small crease-like markings. 
.It is a most prolific melon and withstands very unfavor- 
able growing weather—usually comes out in fine shape, pro- 
ducing ‘splendid crops. Pkt.-lOc; oz. 15¢; %4 Ib. 45¢;
