TOMATOES 
1 oz. to 2.500 plants. 2 ozs. to acre 
CULTURE. Tomatoes do best on not over rich soil, and 
success depends upon securing a rapid, vigorous and un- 
checked growth during the early part of the season. Even 
a slight check while the plants are small will materially 
diminish their productiveness. Sow the seed in hotbeds 
or seed boxes, and when the plants have four leaves, 
transplant into shallow boxes or cold frames.

TURNIPS 
CULTURE. First early varieties of turnips should be 
planted just as early in the spring as the ground is dry 
and warm. You may sow them in drills, beds or late 
broadcast, or among corn. The Winter Rutabaga varieties 
and also the early sorts will do better if planted in drills. 
Make the drills at least 18 inches apart, and then thin out 
the plants when well up to from 6 inches apart down to 
3 inches, according to the variety.

WATERMELONS 
4 oz. to 100 hills; 4 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. To grow good Watermelons it is essential 
to have good rich soil, an abundance of well-rotted ma- 
nure, hen manure, guano, or other forms rich in nitrogen 
being most desirable. Put a good covering of fresh soil 
over the manure. Plant in hills about 6 feet apart; plant 
from 10 to 12 seeds in a hill. 
Frequent watering of the plants with liquid manure will 
hasten the growth, thus diminishing the danger from 
insect pests. The protection against blight and insect 
pests is to maintain a vigorous and continuous growth.
