VEGETABLE SEEDS 25 
MUSKMELON 
The Muskmelon can he successfully grown in a much larger territory than the Watermelon. It docs 
not require so long a season for maturing its fruit as docs the latter, and therefore can be planted in more 
northern latitudes. Neither docs it require the warm sandy soil of the Watermelon. It can he grown 
in colder and heavier soils with but little manuring. 
which should he place'd in each hill. Musk- 
melons should he planted but six feet apart.

perfection ; and in the North, when planted in warm soil and sheltered from strong winds, fine crops arc 
obtained. Plant in hills eight to ten feet apart. The same culture as recommended for Cucumbers will 
insure success.
