MELON, MUSK 



French. 



Spanish, Melon Muscatel 



German, Melone 

 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

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

 flavored, juciest and best melon ever offered.

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

 has been perfect in sweetness.
