CULTURE — The Musk Melon req\iires somewhat similar treatment to Cucumber in the open air. but, as a rule, does not succeed so well 
with amateurs. Seeds can be sown in March in the house, in a 6 inch pot. After planting in hills, prepared as tor Cucumber, plants should 
be covered with glass — a double' window will do on a box same size as window. Should get air through the day, hut always be closerl in the 
evening to retain the heat gained during the day, and watering must not be neglected. When the vines fill the frame, it should be hfted on to 
bricks, and about July the frame can be removed altogether.
