MUSKMELQNS OR CANTALOUPES. 



Culture.— Plant seed in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way, after danger 

 it frost is over. Use well rotted manure in the hills. Insert seeds 



just under surface of soil: 1 ounce to 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds to acre, a 

 light, warm soil is best, but there are varieties of melons well adapted 

 to loamy and even heavy ground, if well drained. In hoeing draw the 

 soil well up to the plants. Fight bugs with tobacco duet, Slug Shot, 

 lime, land plaster or buhach.

 specimens weighing 6 to 7 pounds. Paul Rose, Miller's
