12 “Ye Reap What Ye Sow”’ 
WATERMELONS 
CULTURE—A hill of watermelons spreads over a large space 
and should be planted in hills from eight to ten feet each 
way in order to give them plenty of room. Mix thoroughly 
with the soil for each hill a forkful of well rotted manure 
and put about one inch fresh earth over the manured soil. 
The seed should not be planted until the ground becomes 
warm and dry. Put 10 to 12 seeds to the hill. After plants 
are good and strong, thin out to 3 or 4 to the hill. Culti- 
vate often, keep weeds down.
