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.

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. STONE MOUNTAIN
