BUNTON 
CANTALOUPE or Muskmelon 
1 Oz. of Seed for 60 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.
