How to Grow Watermelons 
Plant seed after all danger of frost has passed and the soil 
has become thoroughly warm. Place 6 to 8 seeds in groups, 
to 2 or 3 plants in each group after plants are well established. 
Rich, rather sandy soils produce the finest watermelons, but a 
well-drained loam is also suitable. A pkt. will plant 6 groups 
or so-called “‘hills’’; 1 oz. about 30 groups.
