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