c1918 USDA Bureau of Plant Industry POSTER ~ TREAT WATERMELON STEMS ~ STOP ROT

Scarce original circa 1918 poster for farmers and watermelon growers, by the United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry: « Treat Watermelon Stems To Stop Stem-End Rot. » Measures 16 x 20-1/2 inches. Very good condition (never hung or mounted). I dated it circa 1918 because it references « Farmer’s Bulletin 821, » which was issued in May of 1917. We combine shipping.
