CANTALOUPE or Muskmelon 
1 oz. of seed for 50 hills; 2 lbs. to the acre. 
CULTURE—For early melons, seeds can be planted in plant bands and set in cold frames. After the 
danger of frost, transplant to the open ground in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way. If possible, use well 
rotted manure in each hill. If seeds are planted in open ground, plant about 10 seeds in different parts 
of the hill, just under the surface of the soil. When plants are well up, thin out to 3 or 4 to the hill. 
F-2 Dust is a very effective remedy against enemies of the Cantaloupe crop.
