Melone, Ger. Melon Muscade, Fr. Meloiies Muscatel, Sp. 



One ounce will plant about sixty hills ; two to three pounds for one acre. 



Melons t?irive best in a light, rich soil. Plant early in May, when the ground has become warm and dry, in hills 6 feet apart 

 each way for Musk Melons, 8 feet for Water Melons. Previous to sowing the seed, mix a few 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 3 plants per hill. When about 1 

 foot long, pinch off the tips to make them branch, as it strengthens the growth of the vines, and makes the fruit mature earlier. A 

 few hills, for early use, may be had by sowing on pieces of sod in a hot-bed, and when warm enough transplant to open ground.
