In growing Melons the general treatment is very similar to that recommended for Cucumbers. A 
constant and regular temperature of from 70 71 to 75° should be main tained, and great attention paid to 
stopping, training, and thinning, and every care taken to guard against Fed Spider and Thrip, to which 
Melons are liable.
