MUSK MELON, or CANTALOUPE 



One ounce will plant 50 hills: two or three pounds for an acre. 

 Culture. — ^Sow in light, rich, sandy soU after it has become warm and dn,-. in hills 5 to 6 feet apart, six to ten 

 seeds in a hill. When up and all danger of insects has passed, pull out all but three plants. Pinch the ends of

plants when the dew is on. to prevent attacks of insects.

 The netting of a Cantaloupe such as 

 this one enjoys is a fancy feature, and 

 without question is the essence of its 

 appearance on the market. On the 

 whole, it is an ideally perfect Melon — 

 one that will give absolute satisfaction 

 to both the grower and consumer.
