Use Vigoro on Melons 
BEFORE PLANTING SEEDS—To give 
plants a quick start, place 1 heaping table- 
spoonful of Vigoro in each hill and cover with 
several inches of soil before planting seeds. 
SIDE DRESSING—When melons are 
about the size of a jelly bean, apply 1 heap- 
ing tablespoonful of Vigoro around each hill. 
This second feeding is important in getting 
the melons on the early market when prices 
are at their peak. 
Use Vigoro for Quality—Heavy Yields— 
Early Maturity.
