26 HUTH SEED CO., Inc. — 
CANTELOUPES OR MUSK MELONS 
CULTURE. The soil for Musk Melons must be light, 
rich and sandy. When there is no danger of frost, drop 
eight to 10 seeds in a hill six feet apart, each way, cover¬ 
ing about three-fourths inch deep. As soon as a plant 
commences to run, thin out to three best plants in a hill 
and cultivate until the vines cover the ground. One ounce 
will plant about 60 hills, and it takes one pound to one 
acre.
