MUSKMELON 
(CANTALOUPE) 
1 oz. for 50 hills; 3 lbs. per acre 
The most suitable soil for melons is a warm, sandy 
loam, well worked and enriched with rotted manure. 
After danger from frost is over, sow ten to twelve 
seeds to a hill, about 2 inches deep; the hills being six 
feet apart each way. When the plants have the second 
pair of leaves and danger from insects is past, thin out 
to four plants to a hill. Many large growers produce 
potted plants in hotbeds, thereby assuring an earlier 
crop to set out in May or earlier under Hotkaps. Culti- 
vate frequently, deeply away from the plants and shal- 
low close to them. When hoeing, remove the crust from 
around the plants and replace with fine, loose soil.
