For a supply all the year round commence sowing in February, in 
gentle heat, and continue every four weeks in the open ground till 
October. The last two sowings will require protection from frost 
during winter. Sow one-quarter of an inch deep, and transplant 
while young, eight or twelve inches apart, according to size.

MEL ON"— 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 shovelfuls 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 prom- 
ising. Pinch off the leading shoots as the growth becomes too luxu- 
riant, 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.
