Beckert's Golden Curled Lettuce 



MUSKMELONS 



(3Kufcat 9Mortett) 



Muskmelon seed should not be planted outdoors until the ground has become warm and dry. The hills should be about 6 feet apart, 

 and carefully prepared. Rich earth is far better for the young plants than manure; but, if the latter must be used, see that it is well rotted. 

 Plant from six to twelve seeds in a hill, and when the young seedlings are strong enough to resist the attacks of insects, thin them, leaving 

 three of the strongest in each hill. An ounce of seed will plant about 100 hills.
