the earth about them until the roots are 10 to 12 
inches deep. When safely established, thin

Honey Dew and Casaba 
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 or 10 seeds to a hill, which 
will require II /2 pounds to the acre. When 
paper covers are used, planting in the Salt 
River Valley generally starts in February 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 
10 or 12 inches below the surface. Thin out 
surplus plants as soon as they are hardy and 
well established. Please remember that the 
roots are as long as the vine, therefore 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.
