MELON— (Musk.) 
Melons thrive best in a moderately enriched light soil ; the hills should, 
be six feet apart each way. Previous to planting, incorporate well with 
the soil in each hill a couple of shovelfulls of thoroughly rotted manure ; 
plant twelve or fifteen seeds in each hill, early in May, and when well up 
thin out to three or four of the most promising. Pinch off the leading 
shoots as the growth becomes too luxuriant, and if the fruit sets too 
numerously, thin out when young, which will increase the size of those 
remaining and cause them to ripen quicker.
