MUSKMELONS 
Culture—The Melon grows best in light soil. Plant in hills about 6 feet apart, mixing in each hill a shovelful of well- 
rotted manure. Sow about a dozen Seeds in every hill, early in May, and when well started thin out to three or four of the 
strongest plants. Pinch off the shoots and thin out the young fruit if it sets too plentifully, so as to increase the size of the 
remainder.

deep salmon color, thick, firm and solid, and possesses a rich, 
aromatic flavor. Developed here and grown and marketed 
locally for a number of years Currie’s Milwaukee Market on 
account of its distinct and undeniably superior qualities has 
for some time been recognized as a standard American variety 
of the first rank, and it is now grown by home and professional 
gardeners to the number of many thousands throughout the 
country. The fruit is very uniform in size, and every Melon 
is a good one, sweet and luscious to the rind. As a market 
gardener’s Melon we believe it has no equal, and it is an ex- 
cellent shipper.

quisite and we think it quite an honor.
