Muskmelon 



CtTLTURB. — One ounce of seed to 50 hills. Sow about 

 the last of spring or the first of summer in hills of light, 

 rich, sandy soil, 4 feet apart, allowing but three plants 

 to grow in each hill; after they have grown about a foot 

 long, pmch off the points of shoots, which causes the vines 

 not only to become stronger, but makes them produce 

 lateral branches and prove more productive and 

 mature earlier. It should not be grown near 

 squashes, cucumbers or pumpkins, as the flavor 

 '^X will be affected in consequence.

 manner. The fruit is oval, slightly ribbed, densely covered 

 with coarse netting. Flesh thick, green, very sweet and high 

 flavored.
