WATERMELONS 
Watermelons do best on old, rich soil. 
When making the hills, well-rotted manure 
should be used, and it is better to prepare 
them some time before planting the seed. 
If cow manure cannot be obtained, use good 
commercial fertilizer or sheep manure mixed 
with the soil. 
Culture. Treat like muskmelons but give more 
room—10 to 12 feet apart each way. For main crop 
plant in early May, for late crop in June.
