Wonder Melon 
CULTURE — The seed should be planted in 
hills about 8 feet apart and it is well to work 
into the soil an abundance of well-rotted 
manure. It is important that the seed should 
not be planted before the ground becomes 
warm and dry, as the young plants are very 
sensitive to cold and wet. Put 10 to 12 seeds 
in a hill. When the plants have formed the 
first pair of rough leaves, they should be 
thinned so as to leave 2 to 3 of the strongest 
and best to each hill. Cultivate until vines 
cover the ground. A packet will plant about 
10 hills; an ounce 80 hills; 2 to 8 pounds per 
acre.
