Liefgreen’s Muskmelon, Honey Dew and Casabas 
CULTURE — Thoroughly soak the 
soil. When dry enough, plow 10 or 12 
inches deep. After pulverizing the soil 
make furrows 8 or 10 inches deep. 
Plant the seed in furrows 6 feet 
apart each way, using 8 to 10 seeds 
to a hill, which will require 1% 
pounds to the acre. When paper cov¬ 
ers are used, planting in the Salt 
River Valley generally starts in Feb¬ 
ruary and March. If covers are not 
used, plant after danger of frost is 
over. As the plants grow, gather the 
soil around them until the roots are 
ten or twelve inches below the sur¬ 
face. Thin out surplus plants as soon 
as they are hardy and well estab¬ 
lished. Please remember that the 
roots are as long as the vine; there¬ 
fore when working close to the vines 
let the cultivation be shallow. Always 
cultivate the irrigating furrow when 
dry enough so as to conserve the 
moisture. See Liefgreen’s guide for 
insect pests on melons.
