Culture. Melons thrive best in a light, rich soil. Plant early in May, when the ground has 
become warm and dry, in hills 5 to 6 feet apart each way for Muskmelons: § to 10 feet for Watermelons. 
Previous to sowing the seed, mix afew shovelfuls of well-rotted manure in each hill, and plant in each 
12 to 15 seeds: after all danger of the bugs is over, thin out to three or four plants per hill. A few 
Watters? hills for early use may be had by sowing on pieces of sod in a hotbed, and when warm enough trans- 
Solid Net plant to open ground. Melon vines are subject to the same destructive insects and fungous foes as 
Rocky Ford are Cucumber and Squash vines. Early and repeated spraying with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture 
is always advisable for these crops.
