SUNSET SEED tg| AND PLANT CO. 
rielon, Musk. 
Melon Muscade. Cantabipen- Mtiscate^. 
One ounce will plant eighty hills; two pounds will plant an acre. A light, warm, rich soil is essen- 
tial for this crop. Plant in hills six feet apart each way, 
using six to eight seeds in the hill. After all danger of de- 
struction by bugs is over, thin out to three plants to a hill; 
when about one foot long pinch off the tips to make them 
branch. This strengthens the growth of the vines, and 
makes the fruit mature early.
