Melon ( Cucumis melo). 
Sow from January to June in pots plunged in a hot bed, the temperature of which should not be less than 80 degrees. When 
the plants have made four or five leaves, plant out in a hot bed or house, the temperature of which should range from 75 to 
85 degrees. The plants should be kept well thinned and carefully watered, as they are liable to damp off at the collar if they 
have too much water.
