MUSKMELON or CANTALOUPE —Melone 
OUR SEED IS PRODUCED FROM CHOICE, CROWN SET 
MELONS ONLY 
CULTURE—Thoroughly soak the soil. When dry enough, plow ten or 
twelve inches deep. After pulverizing the soil make furrows eight or ten 
inches deep. Plant the seed in furrows 
six feet apart each way, using eight to 
ten seeds to a hill, which will require 
one and a half pounds to the acre. 
When paper covers are used, planting 
in the Salt River Valley generally 
starts in early February and March. 
If covers are not used, plant after 
danger of frost is over. As the plants 
grow, gather the soil around them 
until the roots are ten or twelve 
inches below the surface. Thin out 
surplus plants as soon as they are 
hardy and well established. Please re¬ 
member that the roots are as long as 
the vine; therefore when working- 
close to the vines let the cultivation 
be shallow. Always cultivate the irrigating furrow when dry enough so 
as to conserve the moisture. See Liefgreen’s guide for insect pests on 
melons.
