MELON, MUSK 



German. Melone French, Melon Spanish, Melon, Muscatel 



One ounce will plant about 80 hills. 



CULTURE. — A rich, deep, sandy loam, well worked and highly manured with old rotten compost, is of the first im- 

 portance. Plant when all danger of frost is over, in hills 5 to 6 feet apart each way; scatter a dozen seeds to a hill, 

 and after they are out of danger from bugs, thin to three or four plants. When they have four or five leaves, pinch off 

 the end of the main shoot, which will cause the lateral branches to put forth sooner. This will strengthen the growth of 

 the vines, and the fruit will come earlier to maturity. 



SWEET AIR CANTALOUPE 



We know from what we have seen of this melon for the past three seasons 

 that we cannot speak too highly of this melon. It is the sweetest, finest 

 flavored, juciest and best melon ever offered. 



It is a little larger than the Rocky Ford, well netted, thick green flesh, small 

 seed cavity. When the other standard sorts have been flat to the taste this 

 has been perfect in sweetness. 



It is prolific. The best to grow for profit; the best for table; the best for 

 restaurant; what more can we say. Pkt. 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c.
