BURNETT BROS. Inc., 92 CHAMBERS ST., NEW YORK 
Muskmelon, Emerald Gem 
MUSKMELON 
One ounce will plant 50 hills. 
Muskmeions thrive best in a light, rich soil. 
Plant early in May, when the ground has become 
warm and dry, in hills 6 feet apart each way. 
The hills should be dug about two feet square, 
18 inches deep, and half filled with rotted manure. 
Sow 6 to 12 seeds to a hill. When up, and all 
danger of insects has passed, pull out all but 3 
plants. Cultivate until the vines cover the 
ground; pinch the ends of the growing shoots to 
induce early fruiting. A few hills for early use 
may be had by sowing the seeds out-of-doors 
under frames.
