Honey Cream - Earliest and Sweetest 

You can grow delicious Honey Cream watermelons in the North. Honey Cream is the earliest, sweetest melon we have ever grown. 
We suggest planting Honey Cream under Hotents (see inside back cover). 
WATERMELON 
Pkt. will plant 10 hills 
Watermelons require a light, well drained soil and 
plenty of fertilizer. We suggest in the North that the 
plants either be started inside in clay or fertile pots 
and transplanted to the open ground after danger of 
frost is past; or, the seed may be planted under Hotents. 
Either method will insure an early crop of delicious 
melons. 
Honey Cream is the best early watermelon. Its 
delicious golden yellow flesh and thin rind make it 
unique among watermelon varieties.
