MUSKMELON (Melone) 



Muskmelons or Cantaloupes require a 

 warm, rich soil. Prepare hills 8 feet apart 

 by digging in rotted manure to a depth of 

 8 to 10 inches and cover with fine soil. 

 Sow 10 to 12 seeds in each hill, in late May, 

 and, after danger of insects is over, reduce 

 to 3 or 4 plants in a hill. 



Fight the insects by dusting the young 

 plants with Slug Shot and spray the vines 

 with Pyrox. Many old gardeners plant a 

 few radishes in each hill to keep away in- 

 sects. 



One ounce of seed will plant about 50 hills.
