A packet will plant about 10 hills, an ounce 50 hills, 3 to 4 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE. In Water Melon culture it is essential to get good, strong vines early in the season. 
These may be secured by forming large, well drained hills of earth, about 8 feet apart, made very 
rich with an abundance of well rotted manure, which should be thoroughly mixed with the soil, for 
if left in a mass it will lead to the plants burning out under the hot sun. In these hills plant the seed 
as soon as the ground is warm and dry, and carefully protect the young plants from insects and 
hasten their growth by the use of liquid manure.
