MELON, MUSK 
One ounce will plant 80 hills. 
Fordliook Musk Melon. 
Hackensack Musk Melon. 
After all danger of frost is over and the ground lias become warm and dry, plant in hills 
4 to 6 feet apart each way, 6 to 12 seeds to a hill. When up, and all danger of insects has 
passed, pull out all but tliree plants. Cultivate until the vines cover the ground, and pinch the 
ends of the growing shoots to induce early fruiting. Ashes, lime, or even dry road dust, are 
excellent to sift over young plants when the dew is on, to prevent the attacks of insects.
