MUSK MELONS. 



The melon succeeds best in a rich sandv soil, and like the Cucumber, a good quantity of well rotted manure 

 placed in each hill will prove gready beneficial as regards size and quality of the fruit. Musk Melons should 

 never be grown near the Cucumber" as their blossoms fructify each other and greatly impair the quality of the 

 fruit of both. The planting distance is about four feet each way. One ounce of seed will plant fifty hills, or 

 two to three pounds an acre.
