MELON, MUSK 
Thrives best in light, rich soil. Plant early in May, 
when the ground has become warm and dry, in hills 
4 to 6 feet part each way. Before sowing seed mix a 
few shovelfuls of welbrotted manure in each hill and 
plant in each 10 to 12 seeds. When danger of in- 
sects has passed, pull out all but 4 plants per hill. Cul¬ 
tivate until the vines cover the ground and pinch off 
the ends of the growing shoots to induce early fruit¬ 
ing.
