In growing Melons the general treatment is very similar to that reeommended for Oueuinbers. A 
constant and regular temperature of from 70° to 75° should he maintained, and great attention paid to 
slopping, training, and thinning, and every care taken to guard against Fed iSpider and Thrip, to ivhich 
Melons arc liable.
