WATERMELONS 
Watermelons do best on old, rich soil, which is not too freshly ma- 
nured, 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 commercial fertilizer or 
sheep manure mixed with the soil. 
One ounce plants 20 hills; 2 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.

PLANT A SUCCESSION GARDEN 
An astonishing amount of vegetables can be grown on a small plot of ground by planting succession crops and by intercropping. Such 
vegetables as Radish, Leaf Lettuce, Green Onions and Spinach can be planted between Beans, Peas, Tomatoes, and Corn, which require’ 
much wider rows. Make several plantings of Beans and Peas to have a fresh table supply all season. Any surplus may be canned for winter 
use. Follow the early crops with vegetables for fall and winter use such as Spinach, Kohl Rabi, Turnips, Kale, ete. Have fresh, healthful 
vegetables on your table throughout the entire growing season.
