Milwaukee Market Musk Melon. 
Musk Melon 
Plant in warm, rich soil in hills 6 feet apart, plac- 
ing eight or ten seeds in each hill, and when danger 
from insects is past. thin out the plants to four of 
the strongest. Pinch the ends of the most vigorous 
vines, 
If barnyard manure is used see that it is well rot- 
ted, and thoroughly mixed with the soil. 
In this latitude it is advisable to start the seed in 
paper pots indoors, or between two pieces of inverted 
turf to insure an early crop. 
To keep off insects use Pyrox for the striped beetle 
and a nicotine spray for aphis. To prevent blight, 
after the plants have four or six leaves use Bordeaux 
Mixture, to which may be added arsenate of lead for 
eating insects. 
For the home garden use Milwaukee Market for 
main crop, and the small Gem type for extra early. 
1 oz. to 100 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. 
Netted Gem or Rocky Ford—An excellent shipping va- 
riety and one of the best of the small early sorts.
