42 McCULLOUGH’S SEEDS 
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.
