Two pounds to an acre. 



CULTURE. — Prepare hills 6 feet apart; a rich, moderately dry sandy soil is best, using well-rotted stable manure, 

 well mixed with the soil. When danger of frost is past plant 10 to 12 seeds about an inch deep in each hill, and 

 when danger of insects is over, thin out to 4 plants. Ashes, lime, or dry road dust sprinkled over the young plants 

 when the dew is on will prevent the attacks of insects. To promote fruitfulness, pinch the ends of the vines when they 

 begin to blossom, especially if the growth is very luxuriant, and cultivate until the vines cover the ground. Be 

 careful not to grow them near cucumbers, squashes, etc., as they readily hybridize and the flavor of both is injured. 

 Cantaloupes grown on heavy soil are not of the best quality.
