1 02 . will plant about 75 hills. 3 lbs. will

Melons thrive best in moderately enriched 
light soil. The hills should be 6 feet apart 
each way. Plant out fifteen seeds in each 
hill early in May and when well up, thin out 
to three or four of the most promising. 
Pinch off the leading shoots as the growth 
becomes too luxuriant, and if the fruit sets 
out numerously, thin out when young, which 
will increase the size of those remaining.
