MAGNOLIA WATERMELON SEEDS 
Noted. for Trucness to Jypo and. Abundant. Yiolds 
Culture—Seed should be planted in 
hills, about 10 or 12 seeds to the hill, 
6 to 8 feet apart. Fertilize soil with 
Vigoro or well rotted manure and plant 
seeds when ground is warm and dry, 
young watermelon plants are very sen- 
sitive to cold and wet. After plants 
have formed the first rough leaves, 
thin to 2 or 3 of the hardiest to each 
hill. Water frequently with liquid 
manure to hasten growth and diminish 
danger from insect pests. Cultivate 
until plants cover the ground. Use 1 
to 2 pounds of seed to acre. Control 
seed decay and seedling blight, and 
increase plant vigor and productive- 
ness by treating seeds with Semesan 
before planting. Protect seeds from 
birds by using Stanley Crow Repellent. 
See Crow Repellent listing for in- 
structions on how to use both protec- 
tions on one type of seed. 
Pest Control—Against Striped Cucum- 
ber Beetles and Aphids use NNOR 
Garden Spray or Acme _ Rotenone 
Garden Guard.
