MUSKMELONS 
Culture — A rich, deep, sand loam, well worked land highly 
manured with old rotten compost is of the first importance. 
Plant when all danger of frost is over, in hills 5 to 6 feet 
apart each way; scatter a dozen seieds to a hill, and after 
Ihey are out of danger from bugs; thin to 3 or 4 plants. 
When they have 4 or 5 rough leaves pinch oil the end of 
the main shoot, which will cause the lateral branches to 
put forth fruit sooner. 
(One ounce will plant about 80 hills.)

is a great yielder. The fruit is round or slightly 
elongated, slightly ribbed. Color a peculiar pea green 
with nettings a lighter ribbed. The flesh is Arm, fine 
gr,ained of a rich salmon or red color. In flavor it 
even surpasses the best grown Osage or Emerald Gem.

quality quite to the outer shell, which, though thin, is 
very hard and firm, and because of this bears shipment 
remarkably well. The flesh is thick, very thick, con- 
sidering the size of the melon, le.aving a small seed ac- 
tivity.
