MUSKMELON 



Culture. — Melons should be planted on a rather light, rich, 

 sandy loam. The middle of May is early enough for planting 

 in open ground. Make hills about 6 feet apart each way. 

 Cultivate until the vines cover the ground, and pinch the 

 ends off the growing shoots to induce early fruiting. A few 

 hills for early use may be had by sowing in hotbed on pieces 

 of sod or in pots. 



One ounce ■will plant 80 hills, three pounds is required for 1 acre
