MELON. 
German, ilReloite. French, Melon. 
A rich loamy soil is most desirable 
for Melons. The seed should be planted 
in hills five or six feet apart each way, mushrooms. 
thoroughly mixing with che soil in each hill a couple of shovelfuls of thoroughly 
rotted manure, which will produce a strong and healthy growth ; plant when the 
earth becomes warm, in as warm a situation as can be found; put six or eight seeds, 
in each hill, and cultivate as for Cucumbers.
