MUSKMELON (Cantaloupe) 



Popone Melon Muscade Melon Muscatel Melone 

 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. 1 oz. will plant 80 hills, 3 

 lbs. is required for 1 acre.
