CULTURE—Muskmelons or cantaloupe require warm, rich soil, slightly sandy. Plant 
when all danger of frost is past, in hills 6 feet apart each way, 8 to 10 seeds to a hill. 
Well-rotted manure carefully worked into the soil is beneficial. After danger of insects is 
past, thin out to 3 or 4 plants to a hill. Cultivate until vines cover the ground, and pinch 
off the ends of the vines. Give them plenty of moisture. Early melons ripen in 80 to 100 
days. General crop, 110 to 140 days.
