SEEDS WHICH SUCCEED 



fflCLUDrpSlxAGE. Cantaloupe or Musk Melon. 



Two Ounces of Seed to lOO Yards of Row. Four Pounds to the Acre. 



Cantaloupes or Citron Melons, as they are termed in Jersey, do well upon sod ground or upon land prepared for planting 

 by plowing down a crop of Winter Wheat or Winter Ilye, the sod or grass aerating or keeping loose the soil. No plant is 

 more influenced by the conditions of its growth. 



The seed is planted at about Corn-seeding time, or when the Apple is in bloom, in hills about 4K feet in each direction, 

 two shovelfuls of well-rotted stable manure being tramped into each hill and covered with earth. The large, long Melons, 

 like the Reedland Giant and Casaba, are generally sold by the hundred; Melons of the ordinary form and size are sold by 

 the basket of one-half to five-eighths bushel capacity. Twenty-six hundred hills to the acre should produce 15,000 to 20,000 

 fruits. Cantaloiipes and Cucumbers are often destroyed by lice on the vines. The remedy to meet such depredations is 

 to spray the leaves with Bordeaux Mixture. Cantaloupe vines are often blighted by heavy early morning fogs, the leaves 

 appearing afterward as if a flame of fire had passed over the field.

to ripen, being almost as early as the Jenny Lind, while twice its size. The form is half 

 flat, fairly ribbed, green-fleshed. Its merit consists in its early ripening habit. The quality 

 is not the best — not , very sugary — but that can be waived, so long as it is decidedly 

 earlier than any other sort I .

 get the seed, that last year many of them paid $5 per pound for it, 

 and would have paid $10 per pound. It is twice as large as the 

 Rocky Ford. Flesh green, deep and of a most excellent flavor.
