 MELONS 



Muskmelon and Cantaloupe 



Easily injured by cool weather. Be- 

 fore planting, spade liberal forkful of 

 well rotted manure into each hill. 

 Plant 8 to 10 seeds to a hill. Thin 

 plants to four per hill after third leaf 

 develops, and train vines in differ- 

 ent directions. On moist ground, use 

 shingles to hold melons off ground 

 to prevent rotting. If grown in cool 

 weather or where nights are cold, 

 will not bear well and melons will 

 have poor flavor.

as green onions. Leave 4" apart for 

 globe-types and 6" for the big Span- 

 ish types to mature for dry onions. 

 Latter can also be started indoors for 

 largest bulbs and can be set out 6" 

 apart after frost danger has passed.
