In growing Melons the general treatment is very similar to that recommended 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 cure taken to guard against Fed Spider and Thrip, to 
which Melons are liable. pjjj. j ^
