TURNIP. 
For early, sow as soon as the ground can be prepared, in drills 15 inches apart, and thin the plants 
to stand 8 inches apart. Sow for succession at intervals of two weeks until the last week in July, and 
from that time onward until the last of August sow for main crop. The sowings should always be made 
just before a rain, if possible, as the success of the crop depends, in a great measure, upon quick 
germination and rapid growth of the young plants. One oz. to 300 feet of drill; 1 pound to the acre.

WATERMELON. 
Secure good strong vines early in the season by making tho hills large, mellow and well drained, 
with the manure placed so that they will not dry out quickly under hot suns. All possible protection 
from insects should be given the young plants, and as protection from insects, use dry ashes or coal 
dust sprinkled over the leaves. Plant the seeds thickly, and thin the plants to foar of the strongest 
in each hill. 
One oz. to 50 feet of drill; 1 to 2 pounds to the acre.
