MELON, MUSK. 
One ounce will plant So hills. 
After all clanger of frosts is over and the ground has 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 3 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, is excellent to sift over young plants when the dew is on, to pre¬ 
vent the attacks of insects.
