We Specialize in High Grade Cantaloupe Seed. 
Culture: A rich, sandy loam and good seed are absolutely 
necessary for success in raising the best melons. The seed 
should not be planted until the ground has become dry 
and warm. Plant in hills 5 to 6 feet apart each way, 
dropping 8 seeds to the hill. Cover with 2 inches of soil. 
Rich earth is far better than manure but if the latter is 
used see that it is well rotted and thoroughly mixed with 
the soil. When the plants have five or six leaves thin 
to 2 or 3 of the strongest plants per hill. Cultivate often 
but not too deep. Should be watered thoroughly about 
every two weeks.
