Muskmelon or Cantaloupe 
Culture—One ounce will plant 50 hills ; 2 or 3 pounds in hills per acre. 
Melons thrive best in a rich, light soil. Plant early in May, when the ground 
has become warm and dry, in hills six feet apart each way for Muskmelons, 
eight feet for Watermelons. Previous to sowing the seed, mix a few shovel¬ 
fuls of well-rotted manure in each hill, and plant in each 12 to 16 seeds; 
after all danger of the bugs is over, thin out to three plants per hill. When 
about one foot long, pinch off the tips to make them branch as it strengthens 
the growth of the vines and makes the fruit mature earlier. Give plenty of 
water and feed liquid manure occasionally. Early plantings can be made 
with the use of Hotkaps. See page 23 for prices and information about 
Hotkaps.
