In the soutliern states, the seeds of melons are usually 

 planted in the field where the crop is to mature. In the 

 northern states, however, the plants are started in 

 forcing-houses or hotbeds. As a rule, hotbeds are more 

 satisfactory than forcing-houses, since the plants can be 

 hardened off better. In forcing-houses, the plants are 

 likely to be too hot, even though there is no pipe heat, 

 and they tend to become very soft. Plants which are

There are two general types of commercial Musk- 

 melons in North America— the furrowed and hard-rinded 

 kinds, which are known as cantaloupes, and the netted 

 and s(.fter-rijHl(*(] types, known as nutmeg or netted 

 lueLois , Fiu'. 14471. In the southern states the word 

 canf;ilnii|,i> N ii^, .1 generically for all melons, but this 

 use "f the tiriii is erroneous (see Cucurais, page 408, 

 Bailey. A. G. 14: LMlf,: Waugh, G. F. 8: 18.3). The vari- 

 ous strains of netted melons are the ones mostly grown 

 in the North for the home garden and for early market. 

 The cantaloupes are mostly longer-season varieties.
