In growing Melons the general treatment is very similar to that rccommauled for Cucumbers. A 
constant and regular temperature of from 70“ to 75” should be maintained, and great attention paid to 
stopping, training, and thinning, and every care taken, to guard against Bed Spida-, and Thnp, to which 
Melons are liable.
