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 bands 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.

a prolific watermelon of excellent quality. The fruits 
are large, nearly round and light green with darker 
green stripes. The flesh is golden yellow, firm, and

enough to spray an average garden planting of 
tomatoes for the season. Price for set 90c,

and recommended time for application are in- 
cluded with each set.

For Winter use, seed should be sown July 15th to

cast. Ifin rows, seedlings should be thinned to 4 inches 
apart. Sown in Spring, turnips are apt to be wormy. 
The Purple Top White Globe is the standard winter

When is the best time to visit Robson Seed Farms? 
Mr. Wilkes and his Penn Yan F.F.A. boys. 
‘(We have been using your seeds for ten years. We bought 
from various seed firms before and when we had our first seeds 
from you we were greatly pleased. They are superior in quality 
and quantity to any other tried. My cucumbers this year (Na- 
tional Pickling) were the best ever. I’m glad we heard about 
your firm and tried your seeds ten years ago.” _ ,
