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 to 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 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.

in form, with dark green rind indistinctly 
striped with darker green, flesh is red, solid 
and very sweet, rind very thin, seeds small, 
dark and vary in color. This melon is also 
known as the 60-Day Melon.

CLETEX. (90 days.) Shape, long oval, color of 
rind, rather light green, result of fine vein- 
ings of dark. and very light green. Seed 
brown and white—indistinguishable from 
Tom Watson. This melon has peculiar 
cloudy white, irregular splotches or spots 
overlaying the light green rind, giving it a 
very novel appearance. Flesh is deep red, 
slightly crisp, of good texture and flavor. 
Vines hardy and prolific. A sweeter and 
better melon than Tom Watson, from which 
it was derived. Weighs up to 50 lbs.

the flesh is red and firm, splendid quality 
and a good shipper. Grows large, even size 
melons and if given special attention speci-

favorable conditions grows larger, is sweeter 
and more delicate. They often attain up to 
75 pounds in weight.: The flesh is brilliant 
red, tender, luscious, very sweet and has a

STONE MOUNTAIN 
STONE MOUNTAIN. (85 days.) The fruit is 
almost round or square-shaped with rich, 
dark green, medium thick rind, and dazzling 
scarlet flesh of luscious sweetness. It has 
few seeds, is firm and solid, almost all 
heart, and truly an unsurpassed table deli-. 
cacy. The rind is sufficiently tough to stand 
considerable handling, making it an excel- 
lent shipper. It is the best round type water- 
melon for home garden or market.

HAWKESBURY WILT RESISTANT. (85 days.) 
One of the best shipping sorts. Its light 
grey-green color gives’ a distinction to the 
variety. Aside from its possessing the fine 
qualities necessary for a market sort, it also 
has fine eating qualities. The vines have 
a vigorous growth, prolific and grow melons 
weighing 30 pounds and larger, with speci- 
mens up to 50 pounds. The rind is tough 
and stands rough handling with no bad 
effects. Markets preferring a grey rind 
melon would cater to the Hawkesbury. Uni- 
form shaped and highly resistant to fusar- 
ium wilt, flesh red, seeds black and no trace 
of hard or white hearts.

NEW WONDER 
NEW WONDER. (85 days.) It possesses a 
flavor that is not approached by any other 
variety. Its rind is thin but tough, and it~ 
will stand safe shipment for reasonable dis- 
tances. Its flesh is a rich red and full of 
flavor right up to the rind, without any 
hollow. The seeds are large and white, 
and relatively few to the melon. It is large 
and long. The color is a dark solid ‘green,’ 
most attractive.

lb., 50c; VY lb., 85c; lb., $1.50; 5 lbs., $7.00. 
TOM WATSON. (90 days.) Genuine cut red 
strain. The Watson has rightly been the 
most largely planted melon for shipping 
purposes in the South. It is a splendid 
shipper, excellent for nearby markets and 
fine for home use. In other words it is the 
best combination or general purpose melon 
ever introduced. In eating quality it is 
good. Its tough, medium thick elastic rind 
makes it a splendid one for long distance 
shipping or trucking over rough roads. Ob- 
‘long in shape, averaging about 12 by 22 
inches, and weighing approximately 35 lbs. 
Its dark green color and generally hand- 
some appearance make it an easy seller 
at top market prices.

half to three quarters of an inch of outer 
rind, very sweet, tender, melting. Free from 
stringiness. Is rather delicate and will not

dark green stripes. Its striking appearance 
has helped its popularity.. A ready seller,

ips.
