SPRINGFIELD SEED CO., SPRINGFIELD, MO. 
MUSKMELON OR CANTALOUPE 
CULTURE —Prepare hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, in a rich, moderately dry sandy soil, using well-rotted manure. When 
frost is over, plant 10 to 12 seeds in each hill about 1 inch deep, and when well up, thin out, leaving four strong 
plants to the hill. Pinch off the ends of the vines when about a foot long—this will make them strong and bear 
more freely. Give frequent but shallow cultivation till the vines cover the ground. Do not grow near cucumbers, 
squashes, etc. One ounce plants 50 hills; two pounds to the acre. 
ROCKYFORD —The stand¬ 
ard of excellence among 
green-fleshed melons. The 
flesh is thick, with small 
cavity; very sweet and has 
that spicy flavor that makes 
a cantaloupe so delicious. 
Oval shaped, slightly ribbed, 
well covered with fine net¬ 
ting and uniform in size and 
shape. Pitt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 
lb., 35c; lb., $1.00. Postpaid.
