MUSKMELOK, (German, Melone; French, Melon.) 
Select warm and light soil; a poor, light soil is better than a cold and rich one. Thoroughly work the soil 
manure with guano, phosphate, ora rich compost, having the hills' six feet apart for the musk varieties, and eight 
watermelons. Do not excavate hills, but work the manure just under the surface, as the roots of all

doze F °Y ™ or ® seeds in'each hill, but do not leave over two plants. Sprinkle young 
plants liberally with plaster or air-slacked lnne to protect from depredation of insects.
