College Station July 30 New bush type watermelons may double per acre production by using space saving plants. Associate Professor H C Mohr of Texas A&M notes bush lines yield similar melons to vine types with half the space, though seeds are not yet available. Plant sizes vary, with ideal commercial diameter 5 to 6 feet, and early tests show strong disease resistance and potential yields on 12 by 12 spacing.
