WATERMELONS 
(One ounce for 30 hills — 4 to 5 pounds to an acre) 

The hills should be dug about 2 feet square, 2 inches deep and half filled with well-rotted fertilizer, 
which must be thoroughly mixed with the soil. Plant in May, 10 seeds to a hill, and when the plants are 
well up, thin out to three, and pinch the ends of the growing shoots to induce early fruiting. Some of 
the sweetest and best Melons we have seen were produced in the latitude of 45 degrees north; conse- 
quently, while the Watermelon is a tropical fruit, yet our Northern friends can grow them successfully.
