One ounce makes 3,000 plants; 3 lbs. to the acre. 
Lettuce can be sown all the year round. For winter

plenty of time for heads to form before cold weather. 
Plants should be grown rapidly to get best results. It 
should be planted in a rich, loamy soil in double rows 
on ridges about 12 inches apart, 10 inches apart in the 
row. Requires about two and one-half months from 
seed to maturity. Smooth leaved varieties seem to head 
the best during the summer months. Irrigate not less 
than once a week and very much oftener during the 
dry summer months. Be sure to cultivate after each 
irrigation.

MUSKMELON OR 
CANTALOUPE 
(MELONE) 
Two to three lbs. to the acre; 1 oz. of seed to 100 hills. 
Cantaloupes do best in light, rich, sandy soil. Can 
be planted from March to July. Plant at the side of a 
furrowed out row, 6 to 8 feet apart, eight to ten seeds 
m a hill. . Cover about 1 inch deep. When the plants 
begin to vine thin out tof three or four of the strongest 
m the hill. Melons planted July 15 for late crop will 
prove to be much more profitable than the midsummer 
crop, though during the rainy season the aphis will be 
found more troublesome than on the earlier plantings. 
However, these can be easily controlled by spraying the 
vines and the cost per acre will be very slight. The 
vines should be examined closely for aphis. 
Earliest varieties ready in 90 to 100 days from sow¬ 
ing; general crop requires 115 to 140 days.
